           Summary: type inference fails with sizeof and circular imports
           Product: D
           Version: 0.158
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

This is a complicated bug, and was very hard to track down (happened in the
Win32 headers). It happens with offsetof as well as sizeof.

dmd mod1 mod2
mod2.d(11): no property 'pig' for type 'sheep'

===================
File mod1.d
----------
module mod1;
import mod2;

struct wolf {
 int armadillo;
}
---------------

FILE mod2.d
----------------
module mod2;
import mod1;

struct dog {
        wolf   donkey;
        struct sheep {
                char pig;
        }
}
// this fails...
const cow = dog.sheep.pig.sizeof;
// ...but this works:
//const int cow = dog.sheep.pig.sizeof;
