           Summary: Ambiguous mangling of module and template in template
                    symbol args
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Consider the program:

----------------------------
module y;
import std.typecons;
template f(alias s) {
    void f() {
    }
}
void g(){}
void main() {
    f!( std.typecons )();  // A
    f!( f )();             // B
    f!( g )();             // C
}
----------------------------

The manglings are:

A:   _D1y22__T1fS133std8typeconsZ1fFZv
                 **^^^^^^^^^^^^^
B:   _D1y12__T1fS41y1fZ1fFZv
                 *^^^^
C:   _D1y17__T1fS9_D1y1gFZvZ1fFZv
                 *^^^^^^^^^

Here, the module 'std.typecons' and 'f' are simply encoded as a QualifiedName,
unlike 'g' which is encoded as a MangledName. However, with this it is very
hard for the demangler to tell the QualifiedName in A and B only have 13 and 4
characters respectively, instead of 133 and 41.

There should be some separator between the 13/4 and the 3/1, or a type should
be defined for module and templates, and encode them with MangledName instead
of QualifiedName.

To show that this bug does affect code more than the demangler, consider the
following programs:

-----------------------------------
// a146zzzzzza.d
template b(){}
-----------------------------------
// a.d
template
zzzzzza1bTC1y130bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffgggggggggg(){}
-----------------------------------
// y.d
module y;
import a146zzzzzza;
import a;
import std.stdio;
class
bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffgggggggggg
{}
template f(s...) {
    void f(){ writeln(s.stringof); }
}
void main() {
    f!( a146zzzzzza.b,
bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffgggggggggg
)();
    f!(
a.zzzzzza1bTC1y130bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffgggggggggg
)();
}
-----------------------------------

The output is:

tuple(b(),(bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffgggggggggg))
tuple(b(),(bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffgggggggggg))

as we can see, the 2nd function is shadowed by the 1st as they share the same
symbol:

_D1y161__T1fS1511a146zzzzzza1bTC1y130bbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffggggggggggffffffffffggggggggggZ1fFZv
