I tried to compile

----------------------------------------------
module sai.math;
private public public class Matrix {
public:
this () { }
}
----------------------------------------------


And it got compiled and linked without any error or warning !!!
Is it legal to have "private public public" in front of "class Matrix" ?!!

Then I added a main method and it failed to link with following error:

----------------------------------------------
module sai.math;
private public public class Matrix {
public:
this () { }
}

int main()
{
Matrix m = new Matrix();
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------

Understanding this link error is beyond my capabilities. Shouldn't it fail to compile in the first place ?

Do both source files

"D:\temp\proj\proj.d"
"D:\temp\proj\mat.d"

contain a main function? If so, remove one of them.

Yeah. I think it should be an error to use more than one of private, protected, public here or anywhere else for that matter.

Yes. Each later one overrides the previous one.

I had something like this:

class Matrix
{
   protected:
   // stuff...
   public final:
   void neo();
   // other public and final stuff...
}

Neo was still protected while in the Matrix. LOL really, I had to use public: final: .
