digitalmars.D - Expected behavior?

reply jdrewsen <jdrewsen nospam.com> writes:
I was just about to send the curl wrapper I've been working on for RFC 
and did a git pull from upstream to be in sync. After that I got a new 
error that may be a dmd bug.

The following is some minimal code that triggers the error.


private mixin template A() {
     void foo() {}
}

void bar() {
     static struct C {
         mixin A!();
     };
}


testd.d(6): Error: struct testd.bar.C no size yet for forward reference
testd.d(7): Error: mixin testd.bar.C.A!() error instantiating


If I move the struct C out of the function body it compiles ok. Note 
that this did actually work before I did a pull from upstream.

Is this a known issue?

Doesn't seem to have caught any attention so it seems I have to hack 
around it :(

Just declare the struct outside of the function?

That will handle the case as specified in the bug but unfortunately not 
my actual problem. I'll figure it out - but thanks for the idea.
