Bug 10914 – template stringof depends on instantiation order

First, you start by creating some templated class, and then, you add an templated alias to it: //---- struct FooImpl(size_t A) {} template Foo(size_t A) { alias FooImpl!(A) Foo; } //---- From there, the idea is to test "stringof": DMD 2.0.64 alpha: //---- pragma(msg, Foo!(1).stringof); pragma(msg, FooImpl!(1).stringof); //---- FooImpl!(1LU) FooImpl!(1LU) //---- But now, if you invert the pragma order... //---- pragma(msg, FooImpl!(1).stringof); pragma(msg, Foo!(1).stringof); //---- FooImpl!1 FooImpl!1 //---- Why "1" in one case, and "1UL" in another??? With gdc, I get: //---- pragma(msg, FooImpl!(1).stringof); pragma(msg, Foo!(1).stringof); //---- struct FooImpl FooImpl!(A) //---- Changing the order just changes the output for gdc (nothing special happens)
