Hey everyone, I'm new to D so bare with me please. I've been
trying to figure out what's up with the strange forward
refernce errors the compiler (DMD 2.060) is giving me. Here's
a code snippet that's generating a forward reference error:
public class AliasTestClass(alias func)
{
static assert(__traits(isStaticFunction, func));
}
public class TestClass
{
private AliasTestClass!(randomFunction) test; // <-----
public static void randomFunction()
{
}
}
The strange part about it is that if I surround the
randomFunction parameter with another pair of paranthesis like
so
private AliasTestClass!((randomFunction)) test;
It works just fine. If I don't, however, I get a forward
reference error:
"Error: template instance main.AliasTestClass!(randomFunction)
forward reference of randomFunction"
Am I doing anything wrong or is this some kind of bug?
It's a bug. Maybe it's already in Bugzilla (there are some
forward-ref
bugs there already). Please file:

Oh, thank you for clarifying, I thought I was doing something
wrong :)
