           Summary: A purity-related error message in case of member
                    access
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



struct Foo {
    int x;
}
void main() pure {
    int y = Foo.x;
}


With DMD 2.061 gives this error message:

test.d(5): Error: pure nested function 'main' cannot access mutable data 'x'


But I think a better error message should be something like:

test.d(5): Error: need 'this' to access member x

See also:


struct Foo {
    int x;
}
void main() pure {
    int y = Foo.x.max;
}


test3.d(5): Error: pure nested function 'main' cannot access mutable data 'x'

But I think this problem is elsewhere in Bugzilla.
