          Issue ID: 12737
           Summary: static constructor requires call of super constructor
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: rburners gmail.com

class A {
    this(int a) {
    }
}

class B : A {
    static this() {
    }
}

void main() {
    auto n = new B();
}

fails to compile with: Error: class staticctor.B Cannot implicitly generate a
default ctor when base class staticctor.A is missing a default ctor

IMO that is wrong. A has no static ctor nor static members.
