struct S
{
    private import std.stdio;
}

class Base
{
    private import std.stdio;
}

class Derived : Base
{
    static void print()
    {
        std.stdio.writeln("Derived");
    }
}

void main()
{
    S.std.stdio.writeln("S");
    // Error: Base.std is not a declaration
    Base.std.stdio.writeln("Base");
    // Error: Derived.std is not a declaration
    Derived.std.stdio.writeln("Derived");

    Derived.print();
}

---------

Solution would be to add the disabled code. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/4bce0eb3acbb9ecce5988c55281aa1b3fd5a42f0#L0R7832

----
This is problematic in the following case.
----
module a;

class Base
{
    private import std.algorithm;
}

----
module b;
import a, std.stdio;

class Derived : Base
{
    void foo()
    {
        // 'std' is looked up through Base.std rather than through module level
        // but Derived has no access right to the private import.
        std.stdio.writeln("Derived");
    }
}

Right, the lookup rules are being followed by the compiler, that is, super classes are looked at before module scope is. To get around that, prefix with the . as in:

module b;
import a, std.stdio;

class Derived : Base
{
    void foo()
    {
        .std.stdio.writeln("Derived");
        ^ note . prefix
    }
}

If that's how things are supposed to work we should enable 'Base.std.stdio'
access.

Walter, D1 also has this bug, but the change of symbol lookup path would *break* existing codes. Therefore I think we should not *fix* this in D1.

How about?

Marking as D1-only, Walter can close it if he agrees with Kenji.
