This doesn’t work, but a slight modification does the trick: ```d --- a.d #line 3 "a.d" // for run.dlang.io struct S { private void f() {} } alias Sf = S.f; --- b.d #line 12 "b.d" // for run.dlang.io import a; void main() { S s; __traits(child, s, Sf)(); // error: Error: struct `a.S` function `f` is not accessible (&__traits(child, s, Sf))(); // ok } ``` Thanks for making me aware of `__traits(child)`.

You're not using the alias. You're just accessing `c.method` directly. If the actual method weren't called "method", you'd get an error. Sorry, you're right.

Given `obj` of the type of the object, I used `mixin("obj.", __traits(identifier, memberFunc), "(params)")`, but that has issues, among probably others, definitely with visibility.

(The member function alias is a template parameter.) Construct a delegate from the alias and the object, and call that delegate: class C { int field = 42; void method() { import std.stdio; writeln(field); } } void fun(alias method)(C c) { void delegate() dg; dg.funcptr = dg.ptr = cast(void*) c; dg(); } void main() { fun!(C.method)(new C); /* prints "42" */ }
