Hi,

The following code is wrong and makes the compiler crash:

------ CODE ------
class FOO{
  struct S {
    int a;
  }

  S st;

  static int f( int a ){
    return st.a;
  }
}
------ CODE ------

Execution:
dmd bug.d
dmd: tocsym.c:142: virtual Symbol* VarDeclaration::toSymbol(): Assertion `!needThis()' failed.
Abgebrochen

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Hi..

It's seems a compile error: "st" is a member of the class FOO. You can't reference a member inside a static method, since the static methods has no "this" to work on. You need an instance of FOO to be able to access "st".

Unfriendly error message though.

That's why he said "the following code is wrong"

That's the bug: it shouldn't crash the compiler.
