And I can also confirm that C++ does strip the top level const
in this case.
I agree, it would be nice for D to do this too.
Ack, it appears it is only done for arrays and pointers :-S
string foo(T)(T x)
{
return T.stringof;
}
void main()
{
class C {}
const int[] a;
const int* b;
const C c;
const int d;
import std.stdio;
writeln(foo(a)); // const(int)[]
writeln(foo(b)); // const(int)*
writeln(foo(c)); // const(C)
writeln(foo(d)); // const(int)
}
Obviously you can't strip anything from (c), but I have no idea
why (d) isn't stripped. This is bizarre.
... or is this because of the const postblit problem?
