           Summary: Object not const correct
           Product: D
           Version: 2.010
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

Just thought I'd let you know that the following functions in Object are not
const correct in D2:

    void print();
    string toString();
    int opEquals(Object o);
    int opCmp(Object o);
    hash_t toHash();

They should be:

    const
    {
        void print();
        string toString();
        int opEquals(const(Object) o);
        int opCmp(const(Object) o);
        hash_t toHash();
    }

(And for that matter, opEquals should probably return bool, but that's less
important).

And just to make life really interesting, if you do

    class A
    {
        const
        {
            int opEquals(Object o) { /*...*/ }
        }
    }

You get the error message

function A.opEquals (Object) does not match parameter types (Object)
