Another shot at fixing the issues with (constant) struct literals and their addresses. See DMD2682, #218, #324. The idea is to separate the notion of const from 'this variable can always be replaced with its initializer' in the frontend. To do that, I introduced Declaration::isSameAsInitializer, which is overridden in VarDeclaration to return false for constants that have a struct literal initializer. So {{{ const S s = S(5); void foo() { auto ps = &s; } // is no longer replaced by void foo() { auto ps = &(S(5)); } }}} To make taking the address of a struct constant with a struct-initializer outside of function scope possible, I made sure that AddrExp::optimize doesn't try to run the argument's optimization with WANTinterpret - that'd again replace the constant with a struct literal temporary.

    int equals(void *p1, void *p2)
    {
	return *cast(long *)p1 == *cast(long *)p2;
    }

    int compare(void *p1, void *p2)
    {
	if (*cast(long *)p1 < *cast(long *)p2)
	    return -1;
	else if (*cast(long *)p1 > *cast(long *)p2)
	    return 1;
	return 0;
    }

    size_t tsize()
    {
	return long.sizeof;
    }

    void swap(void *p1, void *p2)

	long t;

	t = *cast(long *)p1;
	*cast(long *)p1 = *cast(long *)p2;
	*cast(long *)p2 = t;
