Example code: interface MyFace { Object bar() out(v) { assert(typeid(this)); } } class MyClass : MyFace { override Object bar() { return new MyClass(); } } void main() { (new MyClass()).bar(); } This code causes a segfault when ran. Removing the `assert(typeid(this))` line causes the error to go away. Putting the out contract on the class also does not cause an error.
