Description Max Samukha 2013-12-06 12:57:55 UTC 
class A
{
	int x = 1;
}

enum a = new A;
static assert(a.x == 1);

Error: Unable to initialize enum with class or pointer to struct. Use static const variable instead.


The limitation is annoying as it has to be sidestepped by wrapping the reference in a struct. Compiles:

struct S
{
    A a;
}

enum s = S(new A);
static assert(s.a.x == 1);
