Ok, below code doesn't work.

class Foo(T)

Node sentinel; // using Node before it's definition crashes compiler?

struct Node

T value; // it seems that template's T have something to do with it
}
}

void main()
{
Foo!(int) bar=new Foo!(int); // compiler can't create new class

That any code crashes the compiler is a bug.
 struct Node
 {
 T value; // it seems that template's T have something to do with it
 }
 }
 
 void main()
 {
 Foo!(int) bar=new Foo!(int); // compiler can't create new class
 }
Is this the exact wording of an error message? Or your speculation of what's triggering the crash? Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit.

I get 'a.d(6): struct Node no size yet for forward reference'. Running "gdc (GCC) 3.3.3 (cygwin special)" When you say 'crashes the compiler', do you mean 'the compiler prints an error message about the source code, and exits?' If so, that's not a 'crash'. Don't confuse people by saying it is. Say what happened. And what version you're running. On what. If not, pardon me; but it happens a lot. And you should still say what happened.

Just because it doesn't crash GDC doesn't mean it doesn't crash DMD.

True. But I wouldn't call it fair to speculate that the OP's misusing the word "crash" in this instance.
