           Summary: delegate should specify 'this' decorations
           Product: D
           Version: 2.036
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: schveiguy yahoo.com

Note, this bug applies to 2.037, but for some reason it's not in the version
list.

import std.stdio;

class A
{
    void f() {}
}

void main()
{
    const A a = new A;
    auto g = &a.f;
    writefln("%s", typeof(g).stringof);
    g();
}

This outputs:

void delegate()

First, the line:

auto g = &a.f;

shouldn't compile because f cannot be called on a.  However, even if f is
changed to a const function, the output is still "void delegate()", it should
be "void delegate() const".

This breaks const correctness without a cast, because I can call g, but not
a.f.

Note that more important than const decoration propogation is shared
propogation, since the compiler should call the delegate differently.

Note also that with contravariance for delegates as identified in bug 3075
would make this a lot easier to deal with.

This seems to be a duplicate of bug 1983

Yes, it's a dupe.  I also realize now that identifying the decorations for the
this pointer makes delegates a lot less useful, so they shouldn't specify this
decorations.  I think even in the case where the function is shared, it's not
important, the member function should handle the shared semantics properly.
