           Summary: template forward reference with named nested struct only
           Product: D
           Version: 1.005
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: manuelk89@gmx.net

Given a struct S in A.d and a template T int B.d with a nested struct and S as its member:

// file A.d:

   import B;

   struct S { }

// file B.d:

   import A;

   struct T()
   {
      struct Nested
      {
         S member;
      }
   }

=========================================
Compiling with dmd 1.005 on winXP:

bud A

  Yields this:
    B.d(x): struct B.T!().T.Nested has forward references
    B.d(x): template instance B.T!() error instantiating

  But it compiles if...
    - you make 'Nested' an anonymous struct
    - you declare 'Nested' somewhere outside of 'T', even after the
      instantiation
    - you make 'member' a pointer or S a class
    - you change compile order, ie. 'bud B'
    - you put the instantiation below the declaration of S in A.d
    - you use dmd 0.177 (!)

It still does not compile if 'Nested' is made a static struct.

Interesting.  Neither

    dmd A.d B.d
    dmd B.d A.d

shows the problem (trying it under Win98SE).  But what puzzles me most is that in your attempt, the compiler prints "x" instead of a line number.

I just used "x" because I didn´t want to count the line numbers and the lines are shifted in my bug report.

But the behaviour of "dmd A.d B.d" and vice versa is very interesting, cause manually invoking the compiler with theses lines runs for me too (thanks for the hint!). But both Code::Blocks and 'bud' failed. Under Code::Blocks with full command line logging enabled it says:

dmd.exe  -I\include -IC:\dmd\src\phobos  -c D:\Dev\Projects\DError\B.d -ofobj\Release\B.obj
dmd.exe  -I\include -IC:\dmd\src\phobos  -c D:\Dev\Projects\DError\A.d -ofobj\Release\A.obj
dmd.exe bin\Release\DError.exe  obj\Release\B.obj obj\Release\A.obj phobos.lib
B.d(6): struct B.T!().T.Nested has forward references
B.d(11): template instance B.T!() error instantiating
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
2 errors, 0 warnings

I tried to reproduce the error Code::Blocks ran into, but running the same lines from a batch file works!
The same error appears by doing 'bud A' (but not 'bud B'!).

Can anybody explain this strange behaviour?

This is very embarrissing, but I just forgot the instantiation of the template! It should be:

// file A.d:

   import B;

   struct S { }

// file B.d:

   import A;

   struct T()
   {
      struct Nested
      {
         S member;
      }
   }

   alias T!() instance; // <- add this line!!


This should finally reproduce the error!

Please don't blindly quote the entire message when replying.  It's bad enough on any old newsgroup, but in this instance it clutters up Bugzilla.

(In reply to comment #2)

Then leave the compiler output alone.  It sometimes helps to add comments to posted code to indicate line numbers.

I have rediscovered this bug while working on a large and very template-heavy project of mine. The project is currently held up by this (and possibly other) template forwarding bugs, and so it would be really appreciated if this bug was fixed in the not too distant future. Thanks ;-)

Here's a patch that invokes the missing semantics. It also fixes issue #1055
