Currently because of Issue 1824 `opEquals` and `opCmp` aren't `const`. dmd rejects `opCmp` calls but accepts `opEquals` ones: --- class C { int i; override bool opEquals(Object o) { ++i; return true;} override int opCmp(Object c) { ++i; return 0; } } void main() { const c1 = new C, c2 = new C; assert(c1 == c2); // ok, calls `opEquals` assert(c1 <= c2); // Error: mutable method main.C.opCmp is not callable using a const object } --- Both should be either accepted or rejected. See Issue 11557 for proposal to allow `opCmp` calls too.
