```d
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     int id = IdWrap().getID;
     writeln("use: ", id);
}

struct IdWrap
{
     private int _id;

     int getID() return
     {
     	return _id;
     }

     ~this(){
     	writeln("delete id:(");
     }
}
```

Moreover, if you return `this.someSlice.ptr` in the return method 
in a structure, there will also be no error.

You're not returning a pointer and you're not returning by `ref`, 
so `return` is ignored.

What error do you expect?

`return` attribute has effect only if return type of function has 
indirection. For basic types like int has no effect.

Example:
```d
import std.stdio;

void main() safe
{
     int* id = IdWrap().getID;  //Error: address of variable 
`__slIdWrap40` assigned to `id` with longer lifetime
     writeln("use: ", id);
}

struct IdWrap
{
     private int _id;

      property int* getID() safe return
     {
     	return &_id;
     }

     ~this() safe{
     	writeln("delete id:(");
     }
}
```
