I try this:

  module test;
  alias Members = __traits(allMembers, test);

> Error: basic type expected, not `__traits`

We *really* need to fix that one...

So:

  module test;
  import std.meta;
  alias Members = AliasSeq!(__traits(allMembers, test));
  pragma(msg, Members);

> tuple("object", "std", "arr", "t", "Members")

Okay, that's good.

  static foreach(m; Members)
  {
    pragma(msg, m);
  }

Error: template instance AliasSeq!(__traits(allMembers, test)) recursive
template expansion


Oh dear...

lol. another `static foreach` great feature: `allMembers` tries to expand `static foreach`, effectively executing it's body, whith calls `allMembers`, which tries to expand `static foreach`, effectively...

I barely understood a word of that post.
Point is, this used to work... I've been using this for almost 10 years to do a
bunch of codegen for stuff in module scope.

Static foreach has been added in summer 2017 - how could you have been using this for ten years?

(if this really is a regression, please describe it better so that everyone understands it. Otherwise I think ketmar's assessment of this being an oversight when static foreach was added.

[i]>I've been using this for almost 10 years[/i]
static foreach? so you really have a time machine, or a specially-crafted
compiler version you never gave others?! please, can you show us the 10 yo code
with `static foreach`, and the 10 yo old compiler you used to compile it?

this is normal thing for new language feature: some cases are missed. it will eventually be fixed, and in the meantime you can write the code like us, mere mortals did for those 10 years: without `static foreach`.

I used 'foreach', which doesn't work anymore.
Since static foreach was added, the non-static one doesn't work the same.
static foreach should to all the static stuff that foreach used to do.

`foreach` never worked at the top level. and non-static forach works *exactly* the same as before. you are clearly has a very different compiler than the rest of us.

Non-static foreach doesn't seem to be the same. There are new errors with old usage of foreach instructing to use static foreach instead.

And it definitely worked at top level. I was using it to generate top level binding stub functions almost as long as I've been using D.

It would be inside a mixin template mixed in at top level, that's all.

example, please. *nothing* was changed in old foreach.

>And it definitely worked at top level.
example, please. i have several different compiler versions at hand, starting from 2.073 (WAY before static foreach), and top-level foreach doesn't work in all of them. please, give example code and compiler version where it worked. thank you.

Remove the 'static' from my OP and you have it.

It definitely worked. They flew me to dconf in 2013 and I gave a whole lecture
about it.
I don't work there anymore, so I don't have the code. I was starting to write a
new version.

Emitting an error instructing me to insert 'static' is at least once change in old foreach.
