Issue ID: 20632
Summary: Format and writeln not usable with non-copyable types
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Keywords: rejects-valid
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: pro.mathias.lang at gmail.com
It is probably the evidence of a larger problem, and fixing it is probably
limited by fixes to the ABI, but here it goes:
```
import std.stdio;
private struct MyStruct
{
int a;
string b;
@disable this(this);
@disable ref MyStruct opAssign(ref MyStruct other);
}
void main ()
{
MyStruct s;
writeln(s);
}
```
This code *should* compile. We should be able to take a value by ref and just
format or print it. This is quite important when you have `extern(C++)` types
where copy is expensive.
Even adding my own `toString` to it:
```
string toString() @safe pure nothrow @nogc { return "WhyNot"; }
```
does not make it compile.
