Thanks for the clarification. As I understand it this is the situation:

Within a template unittests will be silently ignored by the compiler unless
another unittest, outside the template scope, instantiates that template. 


Is it really a good idea? To treat unittests like regular functions w.r.t
templates regarding how/when they're compiled.

IMO all unittests should be lifted to module scope by the compiler, excepting
static-if and version() blocks. This way there would be no unittests that are
missed because a template was not instantiated.

This all came about because someone elsewhere in the code removed an one line
that instantiated S. We were blissfully unaware that most of out S unittests
were not actually being compiled, let alone executed. A simple mistake but it
happens.


Thanks,
ed
