Hi,

    The following piece of code makes the compiler (dmd 0.48) crash on my
win2k box without any error message.


instance A(int) a;
int main() {
    printf("%d\r\n", a.id(3));
    return 0;
}
template A(T) {
    T id(T t) {
        return t;
    }
}


    As undertand I can instantiate the template before it's declaration in
the file, like creating a struct variable before the struct declaration, so
I think it's a bug of the compiler. If not an exception to the forwarding
declarations rule should be clearly stated.


    Best regards,
    Daniel Yokomiso.
