Question about typeof(*this)

[choi heejo]

hi there, please read this code:

import std.stdio;

struct test(T)
{
alias typeof(*this) type;
T a;
}


void main()
{
test!(int).type t;
 t.a = 123;
 writeln(t.a);
}

I guessed it would work. but the compiler said:

main.d(7): Error: can only * a pointer, not a 'test!(int)'
main.d(14): Error: template instance main.test!(int) error instantiating

what is the problem?
