Issue ID: 24445
Summary: Type cast dropping const should not be an lvalue
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: nick at geany.org
The docs say the result is an lvalue for:
> cast(U) expressions applied to lvalues of type T when T* is implicitly convertible to U*;
https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#.define-lvalue
const int* does not implicitly convert to int*, yet:
void main()
{
const int i;
cast(int) i = 2;
assert(i == 0); // passes
}
The cast is making a hidden copy, which should be an rvalue. So the assignment
should error.
