digitalmars.D.bugs - DMD 0.106 is severely broken

It was drawn to my attention that SDWF refuses to compile under DMD 
0.106.  Though there was one thing genuinely wrong with my code, fixing 
this thing revealed even more things wrong with the compiler.

1. Anonymous structs/unions refuse to work, whether in a class or in 
module scope.

----------
import std.stdio;

struct {
	int qwert;
}

void main() {
	writef(qwert);
}
----------
D:\My Documents\Programming\D\Tests\bugs\broken106_struct.d(8): 
undefined identifier qwert

2. Moreover, if a class has an anonymous struct/union, any attempt to 
initialise any of the members causes trouble:

----------
class Qwert {
	struct {
		int yuiop = 13;
	}
	int asdfg = 42;
}

broken106_init.Qwert 2duplicate union initialization for yuiop
----------

3. Private members of nested classes are not accessible, either from the 
containing class, other classes in the module or other global functions 
in the module.

----------
class Qwert {
	this() {
		Yuiop asdfg = new Yuiop;
		asdfg.hjkl();
		asdfg.zxcvb = 69;
	}

	class Yuiop {
		private {
			this() {}
			void hjkl() {}
			int zxcvb;

	}
}

I invite you all to post any other bugs that have newly appeared in 
0.106 as followups to this thread, to keep them all together. 
Especially those that (like these) have prevented existing projects from 
compiling or running correctly.

Forgive my forwardness, but why should they? :) Anonymous structs don't make a whole lot of sense in either of these cases. The only place I can think where they have any use at all is in unions. -- andy

Indeed, in the code snippet I posted it's useless. But in this instance, it should either work or complain about a syntax error, not an undefined identifier. As for how I'm using it, SDWF has several instances of an anonymous struct within an anonymous union within a class. Stewart.

<snip> I guess you're right. So the bug here is that it defers choking until you try to use it? I gave this as a minimal testcase. But I'm doing it in class scope, where the error is the same. OK, so maybe anonymous structs at class scope aren't particularly useful either, but anonymous unions at class scope certainly are. Stewart.

I agree. That needs to be fixed.
