           Summary: Immutable class may be changed when inherits from
                    mutable parent
           Product: D
           Version: 2.039
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com

This merrily compiles:

class Zmienna {
    int a;
    this(int a) {
        this.a = a;
    }
}

immutable class Stala : Zmienna {
    this(int a) {
        super(a);
    }
}

void main() {
    auto st = new Stala(5);
    Zmienna zm = st;
    zm.a = 666;
//  st.a = 666; // fails
    assert (st.a == 666);
}


The above shows that an immutable class shouldn't be allowed to derive from
mutable classes. Unfortunately it won't work because Object is not (and can't
be) immutable. Not sure how to bite this one, perhaps make an opt out that says
mutable parents with no fields are OK? Or an exception only for Object?

The solution would be to make it illegal to have a mutable class reference to
the base class.

In your example, this line should be an error:

Zmienna zm = st; // error, must use immutable(Zmienna) or const(Zmienna)

I think issue 3731 is same as issue 5080, and the yebblies patch is a bit
better than mine.

See also Don and Steven's comments in 5080.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/7bed81961aefc5327b57be0862514b78d84355db
The fix for issue 3731 shows a couple of places in phobos that rely on this
bug.  std.xml is going away, so work around the issue for now (all problems are
caused by opEquals and opCmp not being const correct) and in std.datetime, AA
values must be rebindable.

 The solution would be to make it illegal to have a mutable class reference to
 the base class.
No, because a Zmienna is perfectly allowed to be mutable. It's Stala that isn't.
 In your example, this line should be an error:
 
 Zmienna zm = st; // error, must use immutable(Zmienna) or const(Zmienna)
Correct, since because Stala is immutable, any object reference of type Stala is actually of type immutable(Stala). The bug is that constancy is ignored when converting from a derived class to a base class, as this code shows (DMD 2.058, Win32): ---------- class Base { int x; } class Derived : Base { int y; } void main() { Derived md; const(Derived) cd; immutable(Derived) id; Base mb_md = md; const(Base) cb_md = md; immutable(Base) ib_md = md; // accepts-invalid Base mb_cd = cd; // accepts-invalid const(Base) cb_cd = cd; immutable(Base) ib_cd = cd; // accepts-invalid Base mb_id = id; // accepts-invalid const(Base) cb_id = id; immutable(Base) ib_id = id; } -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

I think you misunderstand. I don't mean because Stala exists, Zmienna should be prevented from being mutable, even for cases where Stala is not involved. I mean, it should be illegal to have a mutable Stala reference point at a Zmienna. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

 where Stala is not involved.  I mean, it should be illegal to have

I haven't misunderstood. There's no such thing as a mutable Stala reference. Because Stala is an immutable class, any reference to a Stala is automatically immutable. See for yourself: ----- void main() { Stala st = new Stala(5); pragma(msg, typeof(st)); // immutable(Stala) st = new Stala(4); // errors, because st is immutable Zmienna zm = st; // accepts-invalid } ----- The bug is that DMD allows the implicit conversion of immutable(Stala) to Zmienna. It's just mb_id in my last example. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Fix Issue 3731 - Can implicitly cast an immutable reference to a derived class
to a mutable reference to a base class.

Ensure the modifier conversion is valid before allowing an implicit conversion
to a base class.
