Error: Array!(iDataBlock).Array recursive alias declaration
I don't see anything recursive about it... and the code worked
before. Any ideas?

The template is simply wrapping std.container.Array so I can later on use change it to a different array without breaking code that uses it. As I said, it worked fine before without this recursion problem. Since there is no recursion going on there, it shouldn't be a problem. This seems like a bug/regression. An indirection does not help.After upgrading to latest dmd, I get the follow error on the code template Array(T) { alias Array = std.container.Array!T; }Try to use a different name inside the template, like "Vector".

The error is not directly due to recursion as far as I can tell but in a template that uses the Array template. Why it breaks the array I have no idea.

So, I took all the code surrounding the error message(which was a lot of code) and stuck it into one .d file. No errors! Works as expected. So, WTF?!?! I guess now I have to attempt to split the code across modules to see WTF is going on? Maybe this is a modules issue. I know some of the code I'm using deals with module resolution and there was some talk in the main forum about changing something to do with modules. Could this be the issue? D really needs a better fing way to debug templates or improve the error messages. I'm dealing with about 20k lines of code spread across about 100 modules and the error messages are completely useless as when I put all the code surrounding what it says is causing the error, I do not get the error. Realize, this code works fine in 2.064 so it's not a coding issue as if something magical with my fingers when I copy the code from the modules into a single .d file. Either something was "fixed" or something was "broke"... after all the work I spend trying to figure out what was causing the problem, I'm just as clueless.

It can also reduce source code split over several files.

Which version of DMD exactly? This works in DMD git.
