Hi All,
could you explain me a following behavior of the D compiler/linker?
I wrote something like:
______ in the module foo ______
..
template TTestStatic(T) {
class Class {
public static this () {
printf ("static TTestStatic.Class.Ctor()\n");
}
}
}

______ in the module bar ______
private import c.stdio;
private import foo;
..
alias instance TTestStatic(int) TSI;
..
int main () {
printf ("Begin of the main function\n");
..
printf ("End of the main function\n");
return 0;
}

After the compilation there was no static constructor call...
Ok... I've tried to solve it and when I added static constructor to any class in
module "bar" (or another one) or just an empty class with static constructor I
see the static Ctor of the template was called!

Thanks!

have you tried
adding
TSI.class a;
before main ?

the linker will not need to link any code because nothing calls methods of
class TTestStatic(int).Class
there are no instances etc.
