Bug 8028 – Templates sometimes-can/sometimes-can't access private symbols in same module

---------------------- // test1.d import test2; auto a = foo!1; ---------------------- // test2.d template foo(int i) { immutable foo = makeStruct(i); // A //immutable foo = MyStruct(i); // B } private MyStruct makeStruct(int i) { return MyStruct(i); } struct MyStruct { private this(int i) {} } ---------------------- In test2.d, using the line marked "A" compiles successfully, but using the line marked "B" results in: Error: struct test2.MyStruct member this is not accessible I don't know whether they're supposed to both succeed or both fail, but that fact that one works and the other doesn't sounds like a compiler bug to me.

Seems to have been fixed in latest git HEAD. Both A and B are now accepted.
