           Summary: Regression from overzealous error message
           Product: D
           Version: 1.005
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: oskar.linde at gmail.com


int[] test(int[2] x) { return x; }

Gives (with dmd 1.005 and later): 

Error: escaping reference to local x

Since static arrays (at least in Dv1) are passed by reference, the x above
wouldn't be local. The sample compiles fine with all D versions (that I've
tested) up to and including 1.004.

The regression was probably introduced by fixing issue 890.
