The compiler recognizes the situation and reports it as an error, so it seems like this is not a bug, but something which is not supported: ~/scratch $ rdmd test_scope_a.d test_scope_a.d(6): Error: declaration f0 is already defined in another scope in main The rationale in TDPL that Andrei pointed to doesn't seem to cover the case above.

 The compiler recognizes the situation and reports it as an error, so it
 seems like this is not a bug, but something which is not supported:

 ~/scratch $ rdmd test_scope_a.d
 test_scope_a.d(6): Error: declaration f0 is already defined in
 another scope in main

 The rationale in TDPL that Andrei pointed to doesn't seem to cover the
 case above.

 Can anyone confirm that the above really is against the rules of the
 language?

I think it is a bug. Technically I understand it - Walter names inner functions like main.f0, which does not leave room for functions with the same name inside the same function. Shouldn't be difficult to fix though. Mind submitting a bug report please? Andrei
