Bug 22096 – Can not get global struct member addresses at compile time

Hi! This report is based on the forum thread: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected] I'm currently investigating why I can not take the address of a static struct-element at compile time. struct Foo{ int bar; } __gshared Foo foo; void *foo_ptr = &foo; // Works void *bar_ptr = &foo.bar; // Error: static variable `foo` cannot be read at compile time The D-Compiler passes the relocation of *foo_ptr down to the linker, but relocations plus an offset seem to not work. If I'd have to guess I'd say that this is a side-effect of all member accesses possibly being function calls.
