Thanks for the enlightening email. I am of the considered view that reference semantics with structs in D is tough (if not impossible) with default constructor and postblit constructor (used when passing objects). This is because you can not initialize any object (wrapped in the struct) in the default constructor and if you are passing the struct as a function parameter, it is not possible to initialize these internal objects (before passing them) in the postblit constructor. I faced this in some of my code. Do not know if you are facing the same scenario in the DList implementation. Are there any possible solutions in the pipe? Regards - Puneet
