           Summary: Local struct member variable can be returned by ref
           Product: D
           Version: 2.041
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: All

          Severity: normal

---
Using struct members bypasses the compiler check for escaping reference to
local variables.

This code should not compile:
--------------------
struct S { int a; }

ref int test()
{
    S s;
    s.a = 42;
    return s.a;
}
void main()
{
    auto p = &test(); // reference to the local variable
    assert(test() == 42); // assertion fails with -O
}
--------------------

Moreover, test() in the above example returnes a corrupted (or uninitialized)
value when optimization is on. This causes unittests for
std.functional.toDelegate() to segfault.
