I would want to use the classinfo property of the base class in the static constructor of a template class, but the closest I could get was passing the class as an alias parameter:

class Test(alias BaseClass)
{
    static this()
    {
        writefln(BaseClass.classinfo.name);
    }
}

class TestBase : Test!(TestBase)
{
}

Is there any other way to print the name of the base class in the static constructor?

Thanks

super.classinfo.name should work.

code:
# import std.stdio;
# class Foo : Object{
#        static this(){
#                writef(super.classinfo.name,"\n");
#        }
#}

test2 '_staticCtor'
a.d(4): 'super' is only allowed in non-static member functions
a.d(4): no property 'classinfo' for type 'int'

Ok, that's right. But try classinfo.base.name.
