I wasn't quite sure whether it's a bug since it happens in both
compilers. Thanks for opening the issue.
For future reference the only time you should consider LDC/GDC
distinct from DMD is codegen, i.e. compiler causes your code to
crash. This is a frontend bug so it affects all the major
compilers.
As a workaround remove static, as that causes y to be
initialised at compile time.
I do want it at compiletime though.
static here has nothing to do with static_cast in C++.
The analogy to a static_cast would be
const X x = new Y();
casting up the hierarchy, as opposed to dynamic casting down
the hierarchy.
Sorry, I actually meant a reinterpret_cast. I always get those
mixed up. But now that I look at it again I don't see how that
would help me, since my code isn't the one trying to to casting.
Ah, unfortunately you're stuck then.
