Here's a variant where B is not instantiated with C: struct A() { ~this() { enum s = C.sizeof; } } struct B() { A!() foo; } struct C { B!() bar; } How to compute C? Check members. For member `B!() bar;`, resolve `B!()`. Check members of `B!()`. For member `A!() foo;` resolve `A!()`. Check members of `A!()`. No members => size = 0 (or rather 1, I guess). Bubble up. But the compiler seems to get confused by the destructor. I guess it incorrectly(?) sees a need to analyze C again before it can finish up `A!()`?

Is this a bug?
Recursive template instantiation
I'm pretty sure that this code should compile (https://dpaste.dzfl.pl/cf1e1ee6ef4b): struct A(T) { ~this() { char[T.sizeof] data; } } struct B(T) { A!T foo; } struct C { B!C bar; } void main() { C c; } But it doesn't: /d300/f416.d(3): Error: struct f416.C no size because of forward reference /d300/f416.d(12): Error: template instance f416.B!(C) error instantiating Notice that the same C++ code compiles without problems: template struct A { ~A() { char data[sizeof(T)]; } }; template struct B { A foo; }; struct C { B bar; }; int main() { C c; } A simple recursion is compiled successfully (https://dpaste.dzfl.pl/5a8ff73bfa88): struct A(T) { ~this() { char[T.sizeof] data; } } struct C { A!C bar; } void main() { C c; }
