It always reports 4, irrespective of how many members I load into it.

Funny. I thought you were going to say something else. Arf arf.. Here you go: template X(T) { class X { int i; X next; T t; } } template Y(T) { class Y { int i; long l; Y next; T t; } } int main() { alias X!(int) X_int_t; alias Y!(int) Y_int_t; X_int_t x = new X_int_t; Y_int_t y = new Y_int_t; printf("X_int_t.sizeof: %u\n", x.sizeof); printf("Y_int_t.sizeof: %u\n", y.sizeof); printf("X_int_t.sizeof: %u\n", X_int_t.sizeof); printf("Y_int_t.sizeof: %u\n", Y_int_t.sizeof); return 0; }

Sorry, rushing as usual.

All sizes reported as 4, which seems a little wrong to me.

Let me know if it's wrong, or if I've done something very silly. :)

It looks like all class types report a sizeof of 4. I assume it's the size of a reference, not the number of bytes occupied by an instance. (it makes sense: we're not supposed to know or care about the internal layout of class types) import std.stdio; class A {} class B{int a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i;} struct C{int a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i;} int main() { writefln("A:", A.sizeof); writefln("B:", B.sizeof); writefln("C:", C.sizeof); return 0; } yields: A:4 B:4 C:36 -- andy

Of course, it lends itself to that interpretation. That's why I tried the
class.sizeof as well as the instance.sizeof. However, even if D defines the size
of an object instance to be the size of an object reference - which I think is a
little dodgy in itself - surely a class.sizeof should give the right answer?

That's exactly what's happening. Classes are reference types, so their sizeof is 4 bytes (will be 8 on AMD64). It must work this way, otherwise .sizeof would be useless for things like walking varargs data.
 That's why I tried the
 class.sizeof as well as the instance.sizeof. However, even if D defines
the size
 of an object instance to be the size of an object reference - which I
think is a
 little dodgy in itself - surely a class.sizeof should give the right
answer? .classinfo.init.length
