[mod.d]
module mod;
private int bar;
[main.d]
module main;
import mod;
void main(){bar = 0;}
gives dmd compiler output:
"main.d: module main mod.bar is private"
this message must be improved. it should at least provide a line number to be parsable as every other error message (every other besides the other ones that are broke ;)

I don't know how the compiler works, but here's my guess on the source of the problem (and its solution).
src\dmd\dsymbol.c, line 667 (DMD 1.028):
error("%s is private", d->toPrettyChars());
should be:
error(loc, "%s is private", d->toPrettyChars());

I dont know if it was fixed in the previous version but i know for sure it is still the same bug in 2.018, so i reopen it.

This has actually never worked on any version of DMD. Downgrading to critical. The patch still works, though (it is line 847 of dsymbol.c in DMD2.047.
