Bug 8760 – for a struct A, new A should work if A a; does

-------- module t2; struct A{ this(int i){} } void f(){ auto a=new A; } --------- fails to compile with dmd 2.060: t2.d(8): Error: constructor t2.A.this (int i) is not callable using argument types () t2.d(8): Error: expected 1 function arguments, not 0 This creates strange problems (for example Variant not working), as a workaround one can give a default argument to the constructor, and then the error is suppressed. As a struct can be default initialized when on the stack (with 'A a;'), it is only logical to expect to be able to allocate it on the heap with 'new A;'. This is related with the discussions in issue3680 and issue3438 , but independently from the larger changes/discussion in there, I think this simple operation should work, only when @disable this(){} there should be an error with new A
