I see. I have to learn more about C++. Thank you.

This is good news! The restrictions you are referring to, are they any of
the ones documented here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/function.html#interpretation <
That list has a point regarding what I was trying to do:
4. the function may not be a non-static member, i.e. it may not have a
this pointer<
It's true regarding stucts used as values too, and not just classes...
It would be nice if the compiler could say so: "I can't evaluate it because
you are using a this pointer". With other words, but much more useful than
"non-constant expression".
Yes, oh my God, this is the main reason I don't use CTFE: debugging
them is virtually impossible, and the compiler does nothing to help
there.
Nice error messages for CTFE assignment statements are in the next
release. That's probably 50% of the instances of "non-constant expression".
