foreach: rvalue aggregate expression not finalized!

Hi again,
I just came across something odd - if the aggregate expression in a
foreach statement constructs a new struct (returning an rvalue), it
isn't finalized (well, to be precise, its implicit copy isn't).
Test:
----------
import std.stdio;
struct A
{
int[3] _data;
string _name;
this(string name) { writeln("A.__ctor() for ", name); _name = name; }
~this() { writeln("A.__dtor() for ", _name); }
this(this) { _name ~= "2"; writeln("Postblit constructor for ", _name); }
A dup()
{
A r = A(_name ~ ".dup");
r._data[] = _data[];
return r;
}
int opApply(int delegate(ref int) dg)
{
int r = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < _data.length; i++)
{
r = dg(_data[i]);
if (r)
break;
}
return r;
}
}
unittest
{
A a = A("a");
a._data = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
writeln("Iterating through a:");
foreach (ref e; a)
writeln(e);
writeln("\nIterating through a.dup:");
{
foreach (ref e; a.dup)
writeln(e);
writeln("ending inner scope");
}
writeln("inner scope ended");
}
----------
Output:
----------
A.__ctor() for a
Iterating through a:
1
2
3
Iterating through a.dup:
A.__ctor() for a.dup
Postblit constructor for a.dup2
A.__dtor() for a.dup
1
2
3
ending inner scope
inner scope ended
A.__dtor() for a
----------
The problem is remedied by assigning a.dup manually to an lvalue and iterating
over that:
----------
...
A dup = a.dup;
foreach (ref e; dup)
...
----------
Output:
----------
A.__ctor() for a
Iterating through a:
1
2
3
Iterating through a.dup:
A.__ctor() for a.dup
Postblit constructor for a.dup2
A.__dtor() for a.dup
1
2
3
ending inner scope
A.__dtor() for a.dup2
inner scope ended
A.__dtor() for a
----------
I just figured this out and think it should be considered as bug as it is far
from obvious, at least from my point of view.
