           Summary: Value of x.stringof changes when used as a template
                    parameter
           Product: D

          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

The following code, when compiling, prints "x" then "int". It should print "x"
both times.

template Print(string B)
{
    pragma(msg, B);
}

int x;
pragma(msg, x.stringof);
alias Print!(x.stringof) s;

Assigning x.stringof to a compile-time constant string fixes it, eg

const text = x.stringof;
pragma(msg, text);          // prints x
alias Print!(x.stringof) p; // prints x
