Bug 10114 – Some implicit conversions to immutable and shared should be allowed

The following should work: -------------------------- struct S { int a; immutable(int)* p; } struct T { int a; shared(int)* p; } void main() { auto s = S(); immutable(S)*p = &s; // cannot implicitly convert expression // (& s) of type S* to immutable(S)* shared(S)* q = &s; // cannot implicitly convert expression // (& s) of type S* to shared(S)* auto t = T(); shared(T)* r = &t; // cannot implicitly convert expression // (& t) of type T* to shared(T)* } --------------------------- It should also work not only with pointers, but all reference types (such as dynamic arrays).

ack, what was I thinking
