Description bearophile_hugs 2011-07-08 17:41:27 UTC 
This compiles correctly (DMD 2.054 beta):


import std.string: join;
void main() {
    string[] a = ["foo", "bar"];
    string s = join(a);
}



This too:

void main() {
    import std.string;
    string[] a = ["foo", "bar"];
    string s = join(a);
}



But this:

void main() {
    import std.string: join;
    string[] a = ["foo", "bar"];
    string s = join(a);
}


gives:
temp.d(4): Error: undefined identifier join, did you mean function main?

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/190 fixes this as well.

This seems a related problem:


void main() {
    import std.algorithm;
    auto data = new int[10];
    sort(data); // OK
    data.sort(); // Error: undefined identifier module temp.sort
}
