I've been banging my head against this and cannot figure out why `symbol.stringof` is being called instead of getting a string of the symbol. I tried to create a reduced test case but it works fine:

import std.stdio;
import std.traits;

enum Attr;

@Attr string test1() { return __FUNCTION__; }
@Attr string test2() { return __FUNCTION__; }

void process()
{
     foreach (symbol; getSymbolsByUDA!(mixin(__MODULE__), Attr))
     {
writeln("The result of calling ", symbol.stringof, " is ", symbol());
     }
}

void main()
{
     process();
}

So I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. This is driving me insane.

I know what you are doing wrong in your reduced case. Try this instead:

@Attr string test1(int) { return __FUNCTION__; }
@Attr string test2(int) { return __FUNCTION__; }

void process()
{
    foreach (symbol; getSymbolsByUDA!(mixin(__MODULE__), Attr))
    {
writeln("The result of calling ", symbol.stringof, " is ", symbol(1));
    }
}

The reason your version "works" is because your functions actually are callable with no args!

I tried many things including:

enum symbolname = symbol.stringof;
enum symbolname = (symbol).stringof;
pragma(msg, symbol.stringof);

Nothing works. If this isn't already a bug, you should file it. Aside from ketmar's workaround, I can't think of one.

It's interesting that the ability to call without parentheses is what causes the error, yet when you *can* call without parentheses, it doesn't actually do so (symbol.stringof prints the name of the symbol). This seems very obviously to be a bug.
