Before you instantiate that template, the function doesn't exist, so there's no function to get parameters from. You can get the parameter names of any instantiation of that template, such as: assert(ParameterIdentifierTuple!(f!A)[1] == "p");

If I'm understanding right I need this quite frequently so I wrote this: template nameOf(alias nameType) { enum string nameOf = __traits(identifier, nameType); } unittest { immutable int name; assert(nameOf!name == "name"); }
