Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce that in the next DMD release you will
be able to more freely enjoy your metaprograming experience
now that a long-standing limitation has been lifted.
You can now instantiate local and member templates with local
symbols.
Example:
---
struct S
{
private int _m;
void exec(alias fun)()
{
fun(_m);
}
}
unittest
{
int localVar;
void set(int i)
{
localVar = i;
}
auto obj = S(10);
obj.exec!set(); // no error or warning
assert(localVar == 10);
}

I hope you enjoy!
You have no idea how happy I am to hear this has been fixed! So
many of my designs have been hamstrung by 5710, and it's been
around since the dawn of time.
BTW, at least two people have promised money outside BountySource
to have 5710 fixed:
