How would I go about this in a robust way? I actually want to skip aliases, and templates. In addition to Simen's answer, you can you std.traits.FieldNameTuple to get only the fields of your struct (which only includes struct members that are actually part of the struct's memory layout): import std.traits; static struct X { int x; private enum T = 1; private alias M = string; } void main() { foreach (Member; FieldNameTuple!X) { pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member))); } } This example prints "public" once.

I actually want to skip aliases, and templates. __traits(compiles) is your friend: unittest { static struct X { int x; private enum T = 1; private alias M = string; } foreach (Member; __traits(allMembers, X)) { static if (__traits(compiles, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member { pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member))); } } } -- Simen
