Bug 15141 – Object.factory allows the creation of derived abstract classes

Object.factory returns null for abstract classes, unless they're a child class. Trying to use this class and calling .method on it causes a crash. The second assertion fails, it shouldn't: module factory_test; class Abstract { abstract void method(); } class Middle: Abstract { } void main() { auto abs = Object.factory("factory_test.Abtract"); assert(abs is null); auto mid = Object.factory("factory_test.Middle"); assert(mid is null); //oops //auto mid2 = new Middle; //doesn't compile }

Seems fixed in v2.068.2. Can you confirm?
