           Summary: A delegate in a variable initializer cannot see the
                    variable
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com

This is an interesting limitation:

-----
struct Foo
{
    this(void delegate()) { }
    void test() { }
}

void main()
{
    Foo foo1;
    foo1 = Foo({ foo1.test(); });  // ok

    Foo foo2 = Foo({ foo2.test(); });  // L14: error
}
-----

$ dmd test.d

 test.d(14): Error: undefined identifier foo2, did you mean variable foo1?


It seems the delegate cannot see the 'foo2' variable yet. I'm not sure if there
would be any problems making this work?

Yes, because a declaration with initializer is not finished in the point of
initializer. This is a basic feature in D.

void main()
{
     ((int i)=>a) int a;      //error
    auto b = { return b; } ;  //error
} 

However nothing is wrong with making this limitation gone.
