Bug 6087 – typeof(this) doesn't work outside member function

According to http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/declaration.html "1. typeof(this) will generate the type of what this would be in a non-static member function, even if not in a member function. " But this doesn't work. I have two test cases, each giving a different error (not sure which is more useful): Test A: ---------------------- template True(T) { immutable True = true; } struct Foo { static assert( True!(typeof(this)) ); } ---------------------- >dmd -c testTypeofThisA.d testTypeofThisA.d(7): Error: this is not in a class or struct scope testTypeofThisA.d(7): Error: 'this' is only defined in non-static member functions, not testTypeofThisA ---------------------- Test B: ---------------------- struct Foo { static assert( is(typeof(this) == Foo) ); } ---------------------- >dmd -c testTypeofThisB.d testTypeofThisB.d(3): Error: static assert (is(typeof(__error) == Foo)) is false ----------------------

I tested this on DMD 2.053
