Bug 11079 – Attributes for template functions should be visible when used with traits

----- interface A { static void foo(B obj) { // ok static assert(__traits(isStaticFunction, __traits(getMember, obj, "foo"))); } static void bar(T)(T obj) { // fails static assert(__traits(isStaticFunction, __traits(getMember, obj, "bar"))); } } class B : A { } void main() { B b = new B; b.foo(b); b.bar(b); } ----- I think this is the same symptom as in http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=194, and particularly Walter's comment http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=194#c1. However, the templated function 'bar' is static regardless of what it's instantiated with, so the traits should likely be able to work with it.

Issue was found by CounterPillow from IRC, filing on his behalf.

Walter's comment from here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3501#issuecomment-41484446 > Should it work? > > No. It's not a function until it is instantiated. In fact, the attributes cannot be determined until it is instantiated, because attributes are inferred on function templates. So I'm marking this as invalid. But maybe a set of better docs need to be made for the traits page.
