Description Don 2012-02-08 13:34:16 UTC 
This is fail14.d in the test suite.


class A(T)
{
    .A!(A) x;
}

void main()
{
	A!(int);
}

Error: recursive template expansion for template argument fail14.A!(int).A

foo.d(8): Error: template instance foo.A!(int) error instantiating
foo.d(8): Error: type has no effect in expression (A)
