The following reduced source code would compile just fine with dmd 2.060 but does no longer compile with dmd 2.061:

file a.d:
module a;

import b;

template getType(T)
{
  alias typeof(T.i) getType;
}

void main(string[] args)
{
  alias getType!Foo t;
}


file b.d:
module b;

struct Foo
{
  private int i;
}


This breaks all kind of low level functionality I did build. It breaks both my serialization code and runtime type information system. Because in both use cases I need to be able to access the type of a protected or private member.

Has this been "fixed" intentionally? Or is this a regression?

If it has been "fixed" what would be a workaround to get the type of Foo.i (outside of the b module)
