Not sure if this is by design, this works in 2.054 but not in 2.055:

struct A { }

struct B
{
    static alias A this;
}

Possibly related: Issue 5622

This is not regression, is diagnostic issue.

Originally "alias this" only accepts a member symbol of an aggregate itself
belongs. Therefore the code in comment #0 is invalid because A is lies outside
of B.

By fixing bug 6561, it has been fixed in 2.055, invalid alias this always
prints "undefined identifier" error. In this case, we cannot use A as B's alias
this symbol, but we can lookup A from inside B. Then this is *diagnostic* issue
that the message is not sufficiently descriptive.


In 2.054, following code doesn't work.
----
struct A
{
    static void foo(){}
}
struct B
{
    static alias A this;
}
void main()
{
    B.foo();  // want to call A.foo, but fails
}
----
If this issue is 'regression', above code should work in 2.054, but doesn't.

You're right, thanks. I was mistaken in thinking that it worked in 2.054.
