Bug 1532 – Template instance cannot use class locals as template parameters

The feature was implemented for function locals way back in D 0.173 but still doesn't work for class locals class Foo { template Bar(alias local) { } int x; alias Bar!(x) bar; } Error: template instance cannot use local 'x' as template parameter

Added to DStress as http://dstress.kuehne.cn/run/t/template_65_A.d http://dstress.kuehne.cn/run/t/template_65_B.d http://dstress.kuehne.cn/run/t/template_65_C.d http://dstress.kuehne.cn/run/t/template_65_D.d

This was actually a diagnostic error, it is fixed by 2.020. The error message now explains that the template must be global; there's actually no difference in behaviour between function locals and class locals. Marking this as FIXED because of the error message (nobody will be confused again in the same way). The code still doesn't compile, but the code below has always worked: template Bar(alias local) { } class Foo { int x; alias Bar!(x) bar; }
