          Issue ID: 13902
           Summary: Compiler allows escaping the address of part of a
                    local
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: andrei erdani.com

Currently the compiler disallows this:

ref int fun() {
  int x;
  return x; // escape the address of a local
}

However, this goes unchecked:

struct S {
    int x;
}

ref int fun() {
  S s;
  return s.x; // escape the address of part of a local
}

Direct member access is easy to check using the same logic, so I'm filing this
as a bug. DIP25 addresses more sophisticated detection cases.
