https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24627 Issue ID: 24627 Summary: Disallow qualifiers as member function attributes in prefix notation Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: qs.il.paperinik gmail.com Issue 4070 was rejected on the grounds of symmetry. My sense is that Walter’s objections are invalid. There is precedent for asymmetry on function declarations: `ref` prefix-only. Worse, `ref const int f() { }` really, really looks like `const` applies to the return type. If breakage is deemed too much, this can be done in the next edition of D (assuming editions are being implemented). All prefix type constructors should be applied to the return type. Everything that affects the function (or function type) or the implicit this goes at the end as a (member) function attribute. --
