Bug 11126 – Link failure when instancing anonymous class to a static variable

----- class C {} void main() { static C c = new class C {}; } ----- $ dmd test.d Error 42: Symbol Undefined _Dmain12__anonclass16__vtblZ However I'm not sure I understand why the above is allowed to compile (nevermind the link failure), since the following fails to compile: ----- class C {} void main() { static /*C*/ c = new class C {}; } ----- test.d(5): Error: variable test.main.c is mutable. Only const or immutable class thread local variable are allowed, not test.main.__anonclass1

Now gives testx.d(325): Error: variable testx.main.c is mutable. Only const or immutable class thread local variable are allowed, not testx.main.__anonclass1 And with: class C {} void main() { static immutable C c = cast(immutable)new class C {}; } it appears to work. Can't get a link failure, on win32.

Thanks.
