Bug 14016 – Nested inherited class doesn't know the type of its outer object

----- class A { class NestedA { } } class B : A { int field; class NestedB : NestedA { void foo ( ) { this.outer.field = 1; // disallowed (cast(B)this.outer).field = 1; // workaround } } } void main ( ) { } ----- $ dmd test.d > test.d(14): Error: no property 'field' for type 'test.A' I think the first line should work. AFAIK NestedB can only be instantiated with an outer type B, therefore 'this.outer' should be implicitly derived to be of type 'test.B'.
