https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17950 Issue ID: 17950 Summary: cannot declare package internal symbol in package module Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: code dawg.eu mkdir -p pkg cat > pkg/package.d << CODE module pkg; package(pkg) int sym; CODE dmd -c -o- pkg/package.d ---- pkg/package.d(2): Error: protection attribute 'package(pkg)' does not bind to one of ancestor packages of module pkg ---- The ancestor test should be made aware of package modules. We could consider to change the default meaning of `package` (w/o qualified name) in a package module, to mean exactly the current package, but could also keep the current implementation to mean the ancestor package and only allow to use the current package with a qualified name. --
