           Summary: cannot access typedef'd class field

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: andy.somerville@gmail.com


After creating a new type from a class via typedef, an instance of the derived type cannot access fields of the original class:


  module testTypedef;

  class Foo
  {
      public:
          int i;
  }

  typedef Foo Bar;

  void main()
  {
      Bar testBar = new Bar();
      testBar.i;
  }


compile fails with:
    testTypedef.d(16): Error: this for i needs to be type Foo not type Bar
    testTypedef.d(16): Error: dotvar has no effect in expression (testBar.i)


The problem seems to have already been discussed, but a long time ago (2005-05-16) and never resolved:
