Test case:
------------------------
class TestClass
{
    int a;
    this()
    {
        enum c = getAttribute!(TestClass.a);
    }
}

int getAttribute(alias target)()
{
    return 0;
}
------------------------
produces this error in DMD 2.063:
Error: value of 'this' is not known at compile time

This is annoying as you can use e.g. __traits(getAttributes, TestClass.a) but you can not wrap this call into a template because of this bug.

A workaround as mentioned by Andrej Mitrovic is adding static to the getAttribute template declaration.

This isn't actually a CTFE issue. Something weird is happening here, maybe
related to UFCS.
The declaration of c is actually being transformed into:

enum c = this.getAttribute!(TestClass.a);

and that's the 'this' which CTFE is complaining about. Bizarrely, marking the template as 'static' prevents that incorrect 'this' from being added.
