Bug 21200 – const(Class) should be C++ mangled as Class const *

As opposed to "Class const * const". Discussion: https://digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/const_Class_is_mangled_as_Class_const_const_299139.html

any news?

That would allow external code to silently break the type system as soon as references are involved: ========================================== // D extern(C++) class C {} extern(C++) void foo(ref const C); void main() { static immutable C c = new C(); foo(c); } ========================================== // C++ class C; void foo(const C*& c) { c = nullptr; // <= boom } ========================================== (Allthough class + ref should be rare outside of generic code)
