I tried to use common c++ technique in D:

class Super (alias T)
{
	alias T.Type A; >>> Error: no property 'Type' for type xxx.Sub'

	void test()
	{
		alias T.Type B; >>> ok
	}
}

class Sub : Super !(Sub)
{
	alias int Type;
}

alias A fails to compile although alias B inside scope of function is ok. Is
that intended? What is the idea behind that?

I suspect it must have something to do with 'Sub' not being defined at the point where you're using it as a template parameter. This compiles: class Super (T) { alias T.Type A; void test() { alias T.Type B; } } class Temp { alias int Type; } class Sub : Super !(Temp) { alias int Type; } void main() {} Incidently, notice that I'm not using 'alias' in my Super template. It doesn't seem to be required. Regan

Thanks for quick response. Your workarrond is suitable. I wonder should it be considered as a bug and subject for future fix?

I think you should post it to bugzilla, if it's a bug it will get dealt with eventually, if not it will get dealt with eventually. :) Regan
