This fails to compile with ``` import std.array : empty; struct Foo { string text; } Foo getFoo() { return Foo("Hello World"); } void main() { enum Foo foo = getFoo(); assert(!foo.text.empty); } ``` (13): Error: cannot modify constant expression Foo("Hello World").text
Reduced example: struct S { int i; } void fun(T)(auto ref T x) {} unittest { enum s = S(); fun(s.i); } The call to fun() should infer x as int, but somehow thinks it's ref int.
I cannot reproduce this with the latest master branch. Also, running it on dlang.io [1] seems to successfully compile. Although on the nightly branch it is indeed failing. [1] https://run.dlang.io/is/clMnj3
The reduced test case is not catching the problem anymore. This one does: --- void empty(T)(auto /*const*/ ref T a) { } struct Foo { int i; } void main() { enum Foo foo = Foo(0); foo.i.empty(); } --- The regression is caused by a protection on function parameters (and on assign exp too) to prevent writing member of manifest constants that are aggregates, more specifically struct literals (`enum Foo foo` from the front-end POV is actually a struct literal). Without the protection, in the past, `i` could be modified, which made no sense and could even create crashes. See https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10115, which added the protection.

I cannot reproduce this. Running this code: void empty(T)(auto ref T a) { pragma(msg, __traits(isRef, a)); } struct Foo { int i; } void main() { enum Foo foo = Foo(0); foo.i.empty(); } Yields `false` which is correct. Closing as fixed, please reopen if I am missing something.
