https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17972 Issue ID: 17972 Summary: __traits(getLinkage) doesn't work for classes Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: doob me.com I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug or an enhancement request. I think that __traits(getLinkage) should work for classes, structs and interfaces. This is useful to identify a C++ class/struct or an Objective-C interface. Technically the class might not have a linkage but since one usually put the linkage on a class I think it make sense to be able to get the linkage from a class.From an implementation point of view, it looks like the original implementation[1] assumed that all declarations inherit from the Declaration class, but this is not the case for structs, classes and interfaces.
