Bug 12009 – local import and "unable to resolve forward reference" error

Test case: struct RefCounted(T) { struct RefCountedStore { private struct Impl { T _payload; } private Impl* _store; } RefCountedStore _refCounted; ~this() { import core.stdc.stdlib : free; } } struct GroupBy(R) { struct SharedInput { Group unused; } struct Group { private RefCounted!SharedInput _allGroups; } } void main() { GroupBy!(int[]) g1; } Output: test.d(5): Error: struct test.RefCounted!(SharedInput).RefCounted.RefCountedStore.Impl unable to resolve forward reference in definition test.d(29): Error: template instance test.RefCounted!(SharedInput) error instantiating test.d(35): instantiated from here: GroupBy!(int[]) test.d(35): Error: template instance test.GroupBy!(int[]) error instantiating
