Bug 23397 – private method callable from other module

Source: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected] // file b.d import std.stdio; struct S { private void foo (ubyte c) { writeln (__PRETTY_FUNCTION__); } void foo () { } } // file a.d unittest { import b; auto s = S (); s.foo ('x'); } $ dmd -g -unittest -main a.d b.d $ ./a void b.S.foo(ubyte c) 1 modules passed unittests As Jack Pope pointed out in the forum reversing the order of definition of the methods of S gives in the expected behavior: // file b.d (reversed order) import std.stdio; struct S { void foo () { } private void foo (ubyte c) { writeln (__PRETTY_FUNCTION__); } } $ dmd -g -unittest -main b.d -run a.d a.d(5): Error: struct `b.S` function `foo` is not accessible make: *** [run] Error 1 This seems to be a regression. 2.086.1 works as expected, 2.090.1 unexpectedly compiles the code. The versions inbetween I did not check.
