           Summary: Compiler rejects delegate of a static struct instance as
                    non-constant
           Product: D
           Version: 1.027
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: jarrett.billingsley at gmail.com


The following works.

----------------------------
struct S
{
    static S s;
}

const foo = &S.s;
----------------------------

The following also works.

----------------------------
void f() {}
const bar = &f;
----------------------------

The following, however, does not:

----------------------------
struct S
{
    static S s;
    void f() {}
}

// error, non-constant expression S.s.f
const baz = &S.s.f;
----------------------------

The compiler should be able to initialize baz at compile time, since baz is
composed of the address of a statically-allocated struct and the address of a
non-virtual function.
