digitalmars.D.learn - Access Violation in safe Code

Title says it; I get an access violation in code marked  safe. 
Here's a minimal example:

[code]
 safe:

struct Foo(alias Callback)
{
     ~this() {Callback();}
}

unittest
{
     uint stackVar;
     alias FooType = Foo!((){++stackVar;});

     FooType[1] foos;
     foos[0] = FooType.init;
}
[/code]

This results in:
object.Error (0): Access Violation
----------------
0x00405E2A in pure nothrow  nogc  safe void 
test.__unittestL9_4().__lambda1() at <path>\test.d(12)
... more stack ...

Line 12 is the alias FooType line, where the delegate is defined.

Where is this coming from? Intuition says it is something to do 
with calling the delegate after the stack frame has popped and 
stackVar is unreachable, but I'm not seeing it. Wouldn't foos be 
destructed before the stack frame is gone?

I don't get the issue if I mark stackVar static, or if I don't 
perform the assignment to foos[0].

This looks like a bug in the compiler. It appears that Foo.init as an rvalue destroying itself results in a call into an invalid stack. It doesn't require a lambda, or a fixed-size array. And it doesn't require the stack frame holding stackVar to be invalid. This also shows the behavior: unittest { uint stackVar; void blah() { ++stackVar; } { // introduce inner scope FooType foo = FooType.init; } } https://issues.dlang.org/enter_bug.cgi -Steve

Alias templates require stack pointer, init probably has it set 
to null.
Try this:
FooType foo = FooType();

Yes, that fixed it. Interesting.
