Using Digital Mars D Compiler v0.79.

When I comment out line 14  ( alias T!(char).Foo Foo; )
The error message below appears.

struct_test.d(8): identifier 'Foo' is not defined

When I uncomment line 14.
Cast error shows up.

sym.parent: T!(char), deco = S11struct_test11__anonymous3T_a3Foo
sym.parent: T!(float), deco = S11struct_test11__anonymous3T_f3Foo
struct_test.d(8): cannot implicitly convert Foo to Foo

There may be a kind of problem with name resolution of struct inside template? Typeof function argument "Foo" and typeof "Foo" in function body may be mismatch.

If this is a fault or a imcompleted feature.
I hope the D compiler to be tempered more.

Use of alias could be a workaround. ( not carefully tested. forgive me.. )

template T(T)
{
struct Foo
{
alias Foo FooS;
static Foo test(FooS f)
{
FooS a = f;
return f;
}
}
}

DMD 0.79 linux: function main parameters must be main() or main(char[][] args)

string[] is char[][]

try this:

alias char[] string;
int main(string[] args)
{
    return 0;
}

it will do, because "typedef" defines a new type, "alias" one can create an alias :-), and no new type is defined
