I think you need to pass the this pointer somehow. This works:


import std;

struct Fruit {
     string name;

     static void printmyname(Fruit thisFruit)
     {
         writeln(thisFruit.name);
     }

     void showname()
     {
          task!printmyname(this).executeInNewThread;
     }
}


void main()
{
     Fruit f = Fruit("Banana");
     f.showname();
}


This does too:


import std;

struct Fruit
{
     string name;

     void printmyname()
     {
         writeln(name);
     }

     void showname()
     {
         task!((Fruit 
me){me.printmyname;})(this).executeInNewThread;
     }
}


void main()
{
     Fruit f = Fruit("Banana");
     f.showname();
}
