           Summary: Default value of alias template parameter is
                    instantiated only once.
           Product: D
           Version: 2.036
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: e.insafutdinov@gmail.com

template Boo(T) {}
struct Foo(T, alias V = Boo!T) { pragma(msg, V.stringof); }
alias Foo!double B;
alias Foo!int A;

outputs

Boo!(double) Boo!(double)

while it should

Boo!(double) Boo!(int)


Although it's a blocker for a design that I intend to use, I don't mark it as such with hope that it'll get fixed, as it looks trivial to me.

This is caused as default arguments to templates are only instantiated once, which causes the Boo!T to always become whatever is instantiated first. The patch below fixes this:
