I would open a bug report with the following code which is a bit smaller
than my first wrong version:

=====================
(...)
pragma(msg, typeof(w.aliasStruct).Alias.stringof); // -> "MyStruct"
 pragma(msg, AliasStruct.Alias.stringof); // -> "MyStruct"
static assert(is(typeof(w.aliasStruct) == AliasStruct)); // -> true static assert(is(typeof(w.aliasStruct).Alias == AliasStruct.Alias));
// -> false
}

Seems like a pb concerning whether Alias is a type or a symbol. See
A,B,C,D below:

void main()
{
 Wrapper w;

pragma(msg, typeof(w.aliasStruct).Alias.stringof); // -> "MyStruct"
 pragma(msg, AliasStruct.Alias.stringof); // -> "MyStruct"
static assert(is(typeof(w.aliasStruct) == AliasStruct)); // -> true static assert(is(w.aliasStruct.Alias == AliasStruct.Alias)); // -> true

 alias typeof(w.aliasStruct) A; // -> OK
 //alias typeof(w.aliasStruct).Alias B; // -> NOK
 //alias A.Alias C; // -> NOK
 alias w.aliasStruct.Alias D; // -> OK

 static assert(is(A.Alias == AliasStruct.Alias)); // -> true
 //static assert(is(B == AliasStruct.Alias));
 //static assert(is(C == AliasStruct.Alias));
 static assert(is(D == AliasStruct.Alias)); // -> true
}

I think A is enough for your need, but I don't get why B and C are not
accepted (DMD 2.059, Linux)


Using the current git version of dmd I realized that C works! Hence, as a workaround it can be used by creating a local alias A and subsequently
using A.Alias in the is-expressions. But it seems odd that

"alias typeof(X).A B;" does not work but
"alias typeof(X) Y; alias Y.A B;" does.

Is this considered as a bug?

Best regards,

Matthias

It seems to me that is a regression by fixing bug 6475.
Now I'm trying to fix them.
