I am not sure if this is a bug or an newly introduced feature.

module dstress.addon.constructor_04_A;
-> http://svn.kuehne.cn/dstress/addon/constructor_04_A.d

You get the idea, don't you ;)

What's the problem? The code on the web page is incomplete.

It's one of the few multi file testcases:
http://svn.kuehne.cn/dstress/run/constructor_04.d
http://svn.kuehne.cn/dstress/addon/constructor_04_A.d

See the note in the dstress.addon.constructor_04_A module.

I think the problem is that the constructor is private.

That's what's causing the error, but I think it's still a compiler bug.  If you
move the class definitions in constructor_04_A into constructor_04 then the code
compiles just fine.  Also, if you change the definition of Derived to this:





}

then the code compiles fine as well.  The problem seems to have something to do
with import.

The import behavior is expected. Remember everything in one source file is
"friendly" to eachother.

In my view the problem is that a ctor is silently generated in the Derived
class.

If it needs to be created I'd expect the same access rights as for the
super(Base class) constructor. The remaining problem is of course the
module member ship and it's consequences.

Sample:
Base is in module A with a private ctor.
Derived is in module B and has no explicit ctor.
Is Derived's silent ctor accessible from module A?
Is Derived's silent ctor accessible from module B?

PS: Sean, I've added your sample.

Oops!  I'd forgotten.

I don't have a problem with an auto-generated ctor, but it should be public by
default.  If the programmer wants his class to not be publically contructible
then he should put a default contructor in private scope.  But as Walter has
already fixed this, I suppose we can test the new behavior in .107 :)
