Description Koroskin Denis 2009-04-18 07:11:51 UTC 
Test code:

struct Rect
{
    int x,y,w,h;
}

void pass(ref Rect rect)
{
}

Rect get()
{
    return Rect();
}

void main()
{
    pass(get);
}

Note that this is a regression since DMD2.025
Comment 1 Koroskin Denis 2009-04-18 07:25:13 UTC 
Compiler output (dmd2.028):
test.d(17): Error: function test.pass (ref Rect rect) does not match parameter types (Rect)
test.d(17): Error: get() is not an lvalue

Looks like a deliberate change, see BUG 2621.
Comment 3 Don 2009-10-15 05:25:26 UTC 
This is the same as bug 3167. Although this report is older, it's the later one 
which Walter commented on. So I'm closing this one.
