digitalmars.D.learn - value of 'this' is not know at CT for typeof(this)

reply Dechcaudron <no-reply no-email.com> writes:
So I'm trying to get this to compile:
```
static foreach (alias member; getSymbolsByUDA!(typeof(this), 
Serialize))
                 serializeMember!member(bundle);
```
And I'm getting the following error: value of 'this' is not known 
at compile time
for the line on top. typeof(this) to get the type of the calling 
object seems to work everywhere else (this happens inside a 
method definition inside a mixin template). Can anyone tell me 
why?

I can't reproduce the problem. Could you give us some more code - preferably a compilable segment that gives the same problem? -- Simen

https://github.com/Dechcaudron/dserialize/tree/6c67e44dedf81d9cb8c0d9d80cf4eb85e9abecd0 There it goes, dub test to see it. Tests are not expected to pass, but they should compile.
