I've got 2 classes:

class A {
	private int _x = 5;
}

class B : A {
	void output() {
		writeln(_x);
	}
}

When I call
(new B).output()
there is no compile-time or run-time errors. Is it correct?

This is the wrong list to send posts to. All of the posts here come from the
bug 
tracker. Use digitalmars-d-learn for questions about how D works or how to do 
things in D.

As for your code, it looks just fine to me assuming that A and B are in the
same 
module. private is private to the module, not the class. If A and B are in 
separate modules, then B would not have access to _x, and it wouldn't work. For 
that to work, you'd need to make _x protected. But if they're in the same 
module, then it should work just fine.
