Compiling the following with latest DMD D2 sends the compiler into an
infinite loop.  The culprit line seems to be the alias definition.
Can someone else please confirm.
Thanks Justin




module test;


class Base
{
   Base foo();
}

class Foo: Base
{
   static class Bar: Foo
   {
      Bar foo() {
         return this;
      }
   }

   Bar foo();
}

alias Foo.Bar FooBar;


void main()
{
}

Yup, infinite loop.

 Not with GDC, but that may not be important.

Well, it's a bug. Regardless of how well gdc follows the D2 spec (and from what I understand, it's a fair bit behind at this point), both dmd and gdc are going to have bugs, and those bugs are going to be different. So, the fact that something works or not with dmd doesn't say much about whether it works with gdc (or vice versa) unless you're talking about language spec issues. Bugs are naturally going to differ between the two.

dmd 0.125? Isn't that ancient? :)

                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note that you're using an ancient compiler.
