Is it a bug or by design?

how do you want to call the different A() functions? i.e. how will D
know which one you want to call?

It would depend on whether the instance of the struct is mutable or not.

eg. the min() function is const, so the this object is const, and it 
would resolve to calling A() const.

In member function S.min, member function A is called from implicit
'this' variable typed const(S).
So
 =A0 =A0 int min() const { return A() < b ? A() : b; }


is semantically analyzed to
int min() const { return this.A() < this.b ? this.A() : this.b; }
, then this.A() should be resolved overloads as int A() const.

1)
This particular case is probably a bug.

2)
Your code is typical C++ style.
In D you would normally use 'void A(int x) { a = x; }' to define a setter.

3)
Structs in D are POD structs like in C. Thus all members are public by  
default and setters/getters are unusual.
If you really need to restrict access via a getter (x)or setter you have  
to declare a and b private.
