Hi! How I can return from function a reference to int? Here is a
simple code, to demonstrate my problem:
struct Foo {
public:
@property int foo() const
{
return x_;
}
@property ref int foo(int value)
{
x_ = value;
return x_;
}
private:
int x_;
}
void main()
{
auto f = Foo;
f.foo += 5;
}
When I try to build this code, I get the error at line "f.foo +=
5" with message: "Error: f.foo() is not an lvalue". I thought the
ref qualifier causes the compiler to return a reference in that
case.
