           Summary: Invisible multiple function calls in static foreach
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: performance
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Through profiling I have found a performance problem in my code. I have later
reduced the case and created this demo code:


import std.typecons: tuple;
import std.c.stdio: printf;
auto foo() {
    printf("foo\n");
    return tuple(1, 2);
}
void main() {
    foreach (x; foo().tupleof)
        printf("%d\n", x);
}


Its output, DMD 2.052:

foo
1
foo
2

In my code foo() was an expensive computation.
In my opinion in this situation foo() needs to be computed only once (or I'd
like some other solution to avoid this invisible multiple calls, like some kind
of error, etc).
