I would like to be able to create enums of struct types, but it doesn't seem
possible at the moment. You can create manifest constants of a struct using
enum, but not an enum with an actual list of values. So, if I were to create a
struct that looks like this

struct S
{
    this(string phrase, int num)
    {
        this.phrase = phrase;
        this.num = num;
    }

    int opCmp(const ref S rhs)
    {
        if(phrase < rhs.phrase)
            return -1;
        else if(phrase > rhs.phrase)
            return 1;

        if(num < rhs.num)
            return -1;
        else if(num > rhs.num)
            return 1;

        return 0;
    }

    string phrase;
    int    num;
}


I could create enums like this

enum a = S("hello", 1);
enum b = S("goodbye", 45);


and the compiler is fine with it. However, if I try and create a bona fide enum

enum E : S {a = S("hello", 1),
            b = S("goodbye", 45),
            c = S("world", 22)};


the compiler complains like so

t.d(28): Error: variable __ctmp1 cannot be read at compile time
t.d(28): Error: cannot evaluate __ctmp1.this("hello",1) at compile time
t.d(28): Error: cannot evaluate __ctmp1.this("hello",1) at compile time

It doesn't look like the CTFE stuff can handle this for some reason. Granted,
what CTFE can do is a definite work in progress, but I think that the lack of
ability to create an enum of structs is seriously limiting and rather odd given
that you can create a manifest constant of a struct using an enum. So, I'd love
it if it were possible to create actual enums of a struct type.

I'm elevating this to a bug, since TDPL clearly says that you can have enums of
struct types.

Why is this assigned to Andrei of all people? As far as I know, he never does
any work on the compiler.

This works in git master, if opCmp has signature
int opCmp(S rhs)            instead of 
int opCmp(const ref S rhs).

The problem lies in enum.c, which tries to determine max and min for the enum
by comparing the each element in the enum. Since they are struct literals, they
aren't lvalues, so 'const ref' fails.
This is an example of bug 6221.
