import std.stdio;

class bob
{
}
class tom : bob
{
}
void main()
{
    writeln(__traits(identifier,__traits(parent,tom)));
}


Am I doing this right? I am expecting it to print "bob".

parent gets the container of the symbol (in this case, the module), not the inheritance list.

You probably want BaseClassesTuple!tom[0] instead, which is the class it inherits from. import std.traits for that.
