The code below fails to compile due to the last line. I was hoping casting away immutable would allow the call to foo. I think it is not accepted because of the rval to ref issue. If that is the case, how can foo be called by casting?

I'm not a fan of casting but I'm finding cases where it is the only recourse to create immutable data using impure functions that should be pure.

Thanks

import std.conv;

struct T {
  int[] i;
  string[string] ss;
}

void foo(ref T t) {
}

void main() {
  T t1;
  auto t2 = immutable T();
  foo(t1);
  foo(cast()t2);
}
