--- Comment #8 from Dlang Bot <[email protected]> --- dlang/dmd pull request #11886 "merge stable" was merged into master: - 8d6c07f60edfa51e7ad0882def71ef3e6437a465 by Iain Buclaw: Fix Issue 21299: Undefined reference to dmd.root.stringtable.StringValue!(Type).lstring() In `templateInstanceSemantic`, there exists special handling of matching template instances for the same template declaration to ensure that only at most one instance gets codegen'd. If the primary instance `inst` originated from a non-root module, the `minst` field will be updated so it is now coming from a root module, however all Dsymbol `inst.members` of the instance still have their `_scope.minst` pointing at the original non-root module. We must now propagate `minst` to all members so that forward referenced dependencies that get instantiated will also be appended to the root module, otherwise there will be undefined references at link-time. This doesn't affect compilations where all modules are compiled together, as every module is a root module in that situation. What this primarily affects are cases where there is a mix of root and non-root modules, and a template was first instantiated in a non-root context, then later instantiated again in a root context. - cf9113d804ec7a89bb354791d66b9555bc4f3f8d by Iain Buclaw: Fix Issue 21299: Undefined reference to dmd.root.stringtable.StringValue!(Type).lstring() Alternative patch where instead of proactively fixing up instance members when a template gets changed to a root instance, rather propagate the `minst` as and when we run semantic on the nested templates that still have a non-root `minst` from its scope. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/11886 --
