           Summary: Unable to find 'this' in __traits(getMember)
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: reiner.pope at gmail.com


the following code fails to compile.
class Foo
{
    Bar impl;

    void foo()
    {
        __traits(getMember, impl, "func")(); // line 7
    }

}

class Bar { void func() { } }

---
The error occurs on line 7: "need 'this' to access member impl"

The code compiles if you replace line 7 with

__traits(getMember, this.impl, "func")();

or

(mixin("impl.func"))();
