Bug 18143 – in/out contracts should be implicitly 'this' const

The same already applies for invariants, you shouldn't be able to modify internal state inside a in/out contract body. e.g: --- struct S { int a; invariant { a = 42; } // fails, cannot modify const 'this' this(int n) in { a = 42; } // compiles -> should fail out(result) { a = 42; } // compiles -> should fail body { } } --- This is particularly problematic because program behaviour changes in release mode.
