Sorry. The previous is not the one causes the problem. Try this: struct S { string str = Hello; // Adding an initial value here. }; S g_s; unittest { S s1; S s2; assert(s1 == s2); // Success assert(g_s == s1); // Fail auto s3 = g_s; assert(s3 == g_s);; // Even this

Thanks. Removing the ';' after struct and class is really helpful. The ; keeps trapping me in C++ coding. :)

I believe that the primary reasoning for allowing the implicit conversion between int and dchar is so that code like this dchar c = 'a' + 7; That's a '+' though, not a '~'. I think it shouldn't be allowed with ~ since it's misleading. Newbies would probably expect abc ~ 10 to yield abc10
