Bug 23039 – importC: declaration with array length has itself in scope

const int x = 1; void fn1() { char x[x]; } struct S1 { char x[x]; }; //void fn2() { typeof(x) x; } //struct S2 { typeof(x) x; }; these give circular reference errors in dmd but work in other compilers (except gcc doesn't like "struct S1" using the global) found when testing the typeof PR, it is also affected

also seen with function parameter types: typedef int y; void fn3() { void(*y)(y); } struct S3 { void(*y)(y); }; test.c(2): Error: circular reference to variable `y` test.c(3): Error: circular reference to variable `test.S3.y` these should use the typedef "y" but instead use the function pointer declaration itself

actually, the function one seems to have been fixed already, probably by https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/13990 (i was using dmd with that fix reverted because it caused issue 23030)

The struct examples are part of https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23039

Oops I meant https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23038
