--- Comment #3 from Walter Bright <bugzi...@digitalmars.com> ---
You're right, it's about the non-transitivity of C const. D's choices are:
1. compile correct C code, and also compile some incorrect C code
2. not compile some correct C code, not compile incorrect C code
3. implement non-transitive const in D
(1) is the most pragmatic choice. Maybe eventually we can do (3), but it's a
low priority. Note that any hand-translated C code to D has the same issue.
Improving the error message also would be rather clumsy. I wish I had better
news on that.
BTW, `const struct Foo*` in C looks like const(Foo)* in D, while `const Foo*`
in D is actually `const(Foo*)`.
I'm going to resolve this as "LATER".
