import std.stdio;

class Outer {
    int w = 3;
    void method() {
        int x = 4;
        new class Object {
            this() {
                writefln("%d", x);  // remove to suppress bug
                writefln("%d", w);
                writefln("%d", this.outer.w);
            }
        };
    }
}

void main() {
    (new Outer).method();
}

It would appear that DMD is getting confused over whether the context pointer
of the inner class points to the stack frame of method or the Outer object. 
Which is it meant to be?

Moreover, is the use of x inside the constructor meant to be legal?  If the
context pointer points to the Outer, it shouldn't be legal in methods, though I
suppose it can still be allowed in the constructor.
