I have been looking at the following example found right at the
end of the section here:
https://dlang.org/spec/declaration.html#alias
struct S { static int i; }
S s;
alias a = s.i; // illegal, s.i is an expression
alias b = S.i; // ok
b = 4; // sets S.i to 4
and it runs fine to me, including if I add:
I think the example is wrong. Consider this:
----
import std.stdio;
struct S
{
static int i;
int j;
}
S s;
void main()
{
s.i = 1;
s.j = 2;
writeln(s.i); // OK: Static symbols can be used through
instances
writeln(S.i); // OK: Static symbols can be used through types
writeln(s.j); // OK: Instance symbols can be used through
instances
//writeln(S.j); // Error: Instance symbols cannot be used
through types.
}
