https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21685 Issue ID: 21685 Summary: bad error message on private constructor: member this is not accessible Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: tobias pankrath.net --bad_error_main.d import bad_error; void main() { new E; } -- --bad_error.d module bad_error; class E { private this() {} } -- Gives: bad_error_main.d(5): Error: class bad_error.E member this is not accessible That confused me a lot. I first thought that there is somehow a problem with the this-pointer, not with the constructor. My proposal is to fit `constructor` somewhere in there: constructor `this` is not accessible or similar. --
