Hi,
Consider this code:
```
import core.atomic;
struct MyStruct
{
uint a, b;
}
static assert(MyStruct.sizeof == ulong.sizeof);
void main()
{
shared MyStruct ms1;
MyStruct ms2 = atomicLoad(ms1); // This is fine
MyStruct ms3;
cas(&ms1, ms2, ms3); // This is also fine
atomicStore(ms1, ms2); // This gives a compile
error
}
```
This used to work in DMD 2.088.1. It does not work in the latest
DMD 2.091.0-beta.2. It gives a compile error like this:
```
/home/ec2-user/dlang/dmd-2.091.0-beta.2/linux/bin64/../../src/druntime/import/core/internal/atomic.d(233): Error: template core.internal.atomic.atomicExchange cannot deduce function from argument types !(cast(MemoryOrder)5, false)(MyStruct*, MyStruct), candidates are:
/home/ec2-user/dlang/dmd-2.091.0-beta.2/linux/bin64/../../src/druntime/import/core/internal/atomic.d(291): atomicExchange(MemoryOrder order = MemoryOrder.seq, bool result = true, T)(T* dest, T value)
with order = order,
result = false,
T = MyStruct
whose parameters have the following constraints:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> is(T : ulong)
or:
> is(T == class)
or:
> is(T == interface)
or:
> is(T U : U*)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tip: not satisfied constraints are marked with >

atomic_test.d(18): instantiated from here:
atomicStore!(cast(MemoryOrder)5, MyStruct, MyStruct)
```
Is this supposed to not work anymore? Or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Saurabh
