According to the spec, private module members are equivalent to static
declarations in C programs. Why does this work (i.e. print 5)?
Both imported.d and sample.d are in same directory (.../attributes).

Thanks

It looks like a compiler bug/hole. DMD is not yet aligned to its specs...

Is it in Bugzilla?

Thanks. I had assumed my interpretation was incorrect and was just looking for an explanation. Honestly, until just now, I have not explored bugzilla. There is bug 1141 which looks like what I'm asking about and references a newer one 2830 which looks exactly like the issue.

Thanks

This is fixed issue in D2.061 alpha, but not in D1.
