Test case: ------------------------ struct T { E e; public // <-- comment this out is OK. enum E { x } } ------------------------ x.d(5): Error: enum E is forward referenced x.d(5): Error: enum E is forward referenced ------------------------ This applies to *all* kinds of attributes, like 'deprecated' or 'static' or '@safe'. The T can be changed to any kinds of aggregates (class, interface, union) and the bug still persists. Moving the 'E e;' below the 'enum E' removes the error, so is not using any attributes.
