hi,

this code puts the dmd compiler (v168) into an infinite loop,
and it's caused by having a member in this template that has the same
name as the template.

bye,
roel

===============================================

private import std.stdio;

template TValue(int i:1)
{
	pragma(msg,"last instantiation!!!");
	const int TValue = 1;
}

template TValue(int i)
{
	pragma(msg,"instantiating...");
	const int TValue = i * TValue!(i-1);
}

void main()
{
	writefln( TValue!(3) );
}

but this will work,
so it's the specialisation that is troubling

bye,
rm

===================================================================

private import std.stdio;

/*template TValue(int i:1)
{
	pragma(msg,"last instantiation ... 1 !!!");
	const int TValue = 1;
}*/

template TValue(int i)
{
	static if (i==2)	pragma(msg,"instantiating ... 2");
	static if (i==3)	pragma(msg,"instantiating ... 3");
	static if (i==4)	pragma(msg,"instantiating ... 4");
	static if (i==5)	pragma(msg,"instantiating ... 5");

	static if (i==1)
		const int TValue = 1;
	else
		const int TValue = i * TValue!(i-1);
}

void main()
{
	writefln( TValue!(5) );
}
