Thank you for your answer. I was using D1 so I'm quite lucky with dmd :)

 My question is the following: is this a bug of GDC/LDC or is this the expected
behaviour ? The second solution must always work but I'm unsure about the first
one. Indeed, the specification says that a delegate shall not reference a stack
parameter which is logical but it says nothing about function arguments.

 
 In D1, returning nested functions from the function that defined them
 is undefined behavior.  If you're using DMD1 and it's working, you
 just got lucky.  The compilers could detect this better, but more
 generally it's a problem of escape analysis and there will always be
 cases where they get it wrong.
 
 But in D2, it's legal and will create a closure.  If you're using
 DMD2, that's why it's working.
