//handled_record.d:
module handled_record;
template CObjects(alias destructor) {
void f() {
destructor();
}
}
//world.d:
module world;
import handled_record;
private void free() { }
alias objects = CObjects!(free);
Compiling:
$ dmd -c *.d
handled_record.d(5): Error: function world.free is not accessible from module handled_record
world.d(7): Error: template instance `handled_record.CObjects!(free)` error instantiating
The error disappears if I remove private keyword.
Is it a compiler bug? (In my understanding the alias symbol passed to a template should be accessible by the template because it is explicitly passed to the template, even if it is private.)
