__traits(allMembers, <symbol>) has always been pretty much essential to any non-trivial struct, class, or module-based introspection, but given the visibility rules changes in 2.071.0, it looks like it's not even allowed to check whether a given symbol is public. (i.e. with __traits(getProtection, Type, member))

Is there a new, approved way of doing this?

I just had to change unit-threaded to get it to compile without deprecation warnings (and in one case a compiler error). I don't know of any approved way of doing it, I just did the first thing that worked, which was to check if something was private by:

private template isPrivate(alias module_, string moduleMember) {
mixin(`import ` ~ fullyQualifiedName!module_ ~ `: ` ~ moduleMember ~ `;`); static if(__traits(compiles, isSomeFunction!(mixin(moduleMember)))) {
        enum isPrivate = false;
    } else {
        enum isPrivate = true;
    }
}


Notice the mixed-in import.

i just tried this trick for the first time. it does not seem to work for me (Windows/DMD32 D Compiler v2.071.1): it alway returns false, even for private members. is there another way? (i have the same problem as OP.
