Issue ID: 15313 Summary: std.conv.emplace cannot initialize const objects Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: phobos Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com Reporter: and...@erdani.com Consider this code: struct Node { int payload; Node* next; uint refs; } void main() { import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc; void[] buf = malloc(Node.sizeof)[0 .. Node.sizeof]; import std.conv : emplace; const Node* n = emplace!(Node)(buf, 42, null, 10); } Essentially the attempt is to create a new const Node object in the specified buffer. The code should work, but fails to compile with an obscure error message. --
