           Summary: Cannot forward reference the typeof of the base type of
                    a pointer whose base type is defined with typeof
           Product: D

             nThis:


One of those hard to summarize legibly, yet relatively simple, bugs:

void f(typeof(*y) z) {}
typeof(x)* y;
int x;

Replace typeof(x) or typeof(*y) with int or move f after y and the code
compiles. As it is, it emits "Error: error: forward reference of typeof(x)"
without a line number for the error, in both DMD 1.014 and 1.015.
