Bug 684 – dmd should compile this

import std.stdio; class hello { template a(AnotherT,char[] name,T...){ AnotherT a(M...)(M m){ AnotherT localchar; foreach(a;T) { writefln(`hello`); localchar~=a.mangleof; } return cast(AnotherT)localchar; } } } void main() { char[] b="adf"; uint i=123; char[3] c="Adf"; auto a=new hello; a.a!(typeof(b),"adf")(); } dmd output: testvararg2.d(23): Error: function expected before (), not 'a dotexp template a( M...)' Let's see what would happen if it's not in a class import std.stdio; template a(AnotherT,char[] name,T...){ AnotherT a(M...)(M m){ AnotherT localchar; foreach(a;T) { writefln(`hello`); localchar~=a.mangleof; } return cast(AnotherT)localchar; } } void main() { char[] b="adf"; uint i=123; char[3] c="Adf"; writefln(a!(typeof(b),"Adf")()); } works & compiles as my expectation

Fixed DMD 0.178
