Description Martin Nowak 2011-11-12 08:50:16 UTC 
struct S
{
  int a;
}

auto s1 = S();
S s2 = s1; // works
auto s3 = S(s1); // doesn't work, but should be equivalent to the above


------------

The compiler should rewrite that case to use copy constructor
and postblit.

This bug report is invalid. DMD does not have implicit constructors. Blits are made by default if a struct does not define a copy constructor; this behavior is according to the spec. Closing as invalid.
