Bug 7159 – Forward reference when casting auto return method

The following: ---- class HomeController { void* foo() { return cast(void*)&HomeController.displayDefault; } auto displayDefault() { return 1; } } ---- Gives the error: ---- merge.d(3): Error: forward reference to this.HomeController.displayDefault ---- When compiled with dmd 2.057 on ubuntu 32. Changing the return type of displayDefault to anything other than auto fixes the error. Possibly related to http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5933
