The following behavior seems odd to me. Could anyone explain why it works as it does? (Does package.d have a page on dlang.org?)

--- main.d
module main;

void main()
{
	test1();
	test2();
}

void test1()
{
	import pack;

	// works
	foo();

	// works, did not expect it to
	pack.foo();

	// does not work: Error: undefined identifier 'sub'
	//pack.sub.foo();
}

void test2()
{
	import pack.sub;

	// works
	foo();

	// works, even more unexpectedly
	pack.foo();

	// works
	pack.sub.foo();
}

--- package/pack.d
module pack;

public import pack.sub;

--- package/sub.d
module pack.sub;

void foo()
{
	import std.stdio;
	writeln("hello");	
}

Sorry, that's
--- pack/package.d
and
--- pack/sub.d

I think this is what you are looking for: http://dlang.org/changelog.html#import_package

What an odd place to put it..

Too bad, it doesn't mention anything about calling the functions like in my example, and why some do/don't work. I'd hoped for more.

Hi!

I made similar questions here a month ago, but also couldn't get definitive answers. I just sent a message about this to the main D forum. Let's see if we have better luck there :-)

Cheers,

LMB
