I'm not sure why SDC accepts the code.
The following reduced case is correctly rejected by dmd, because ba.foo() won't work expectedly. Maybe SDC generates wrong code?
void main()
{
uint x = 7;
class A
{
auto foo()
{
return x;
}
}
auto makeB(uint y)
{
class B : A
{
auto bar()
{
return foo() + y;
}
}
return new B(5);
}
A a = new A();
assert(a.foo() == 7);
auto b = makeB(3);
assert(b.bar() == 10);
A ba = b;
assert(ba.foo() == 7);
}

Your code has a bug?
return new B(5);
Should be:
return new B();
With that, your example compiles and works just fine on SDC.

Yes. Sorry.

Hmm, interesting. SDC might use a thunk to get valid context pointer for base classes from the instantiated context.
But it would need some runtime cost and additional vtbl entry. I don't have any knowledge about the SDC backend, but the ABI around nested classes would be different from dmd's.

Maybe SDC inserts a hidden field to access enclosing scope in each derived classes?
void main() {
uint x = 7;
class A {
int fieldA;
auto foo() { return x; }
}
auto makeB(uint y) {
class B : A {
int fieldB;
auto bar() { return foo() + y; }
}
return new B(5);
}
A a = new A();
assert(a.foo() == 7);
auto b = makeB(3);
alias B = typeof(b);
assert(b.bar() == 10);
pragma(msg, A.fieldA.offsetof);
pragma(msg, __traits(classInstanceSize, A));
pragma(msg, B.fieldB.offsetof);
pragma(msg, __traits(classInstanceSize, B));
}
If B.fieldB.offsetof + int.sizeof + (void*).sizeof <= __traits(classInstanceSize, B), both B and A have their own hidden fields.
Note that it's intentionally disallowed by dmd. With dmd, implicitly insertion of hidden field is limited at most once. At best, it's an incompatibility between dmd and SDC.

I'm not sure about that part of SDC. I will investigate and see if deadalnix has some input here.

SDC does it by sticking one context in the base and one context in the child.

It's definitely different. dmd inserts at most only one context over the all derived classes. The second context pointer in the child class need to be error in SDC.

I see no reason for this limitation.
