Consider: class X { int a; } void main() { import std.stdio; writeln(typeid(X).init.length); writeln(typeid(shared(X)).init.length); } The program prints 20 and 0. This is a blocker for work on std.allocator.
The root problem is in the definition of TypeInfo_Class. So it's a druntime issue. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1205 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3143
