Hello.

I have an interface that I made private as the interface is module 
specific. For this example, I created the smallest test code that 
exhibits the problem.

I can compile the source but when it links, I get:

 F:\opt\digitalmars\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe main,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
 OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1
 Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001  All Rights Reserved
 
 main.obj(main)
  Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D4main15ConnectionState10checkStateMFZb
 --- errorlevel 1

If I remove the private attribute from the interface, it works.

I am using DMD 1.020. Is this a DMD bug?

Thanks,

Myron.

I had the same issue several months ago.  Took me about four days to
work out why my code wasn't linking.

I'm pretty sure this is a DMD bug; it's clearly generating a reference
to the ConnectionState.checkState function which *doesn't exist*.

That said, I never got around to filing a bug for it since I was swamped
at the time.
