pragma(mangle, on a template)

[Freddy via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I can't get pragma(mangle) to work on templates(or structs).

import std.stdio;

struct MyStruct(T...)
{
int var;
void func()
{
writeln(var);
}
}

pragma(mangle, MyAlias) alias MyAlias = MyStruct!(a, b, c 
/+very long symbol bloating list+/ );


void main()
{
auto v = MyAlias(2);
v.func();
}

Is there any way I can mangle a template struct then?

I don't know why but it looks like it only works on functions. 
Even if a struct is not a template the custom symbol mangle won't 
be handled:


---
import std.stdio;

pragma(mangle, a0) class MyClass{}
pragma(mangle, a1) struct MyStruct{}
pragma(mangle, a2) void body_func();
pragma(mangle, a3) struct MyStructh
{ pragma(mangle, a4) void foo(){}}

void main()
{
writeln(MyClass.mangleof);
writeln(MyStruct.mangleof);
writeln(body_func.mangleof);
writeln(MyStructh.mangleof);
writeln(MyStructh.foo.mangleof);
}
---

which outputs:

---
C13temp_019455687MyClass
S13temp_019455688MyStruct
a2
S13temp_019455689MyStructh
a4
---

'a4' being printed and not 'a3' is interesting BTW ;)
I think that the manual is not clear enough about this pragma:

http://dlang.org/pragma.html#mangle

Unless the spec. are more detailed this could be considered as a 
bug.

Mangling is done at a different level in the compiler than 
aliases, so I don't think this is intended to work.
