The following code does not compile with DMD 2.059head, when passed the -property switch. int[] array; pragma(msg, typeof(array.front)); @property ref T front(T)(T[] a){return a[0];} Moving the declaration of front to the top fixes the error. This was reduced from a template matching failure (std.algorithm.canFind cannot be instantiated with built-in array types). The same code compiles fine with DMD 2.058. Another manifestation of what looks like the same issue: pragma(msg, typeof(x)); // prints 'int' instead of 'const(int)' const int x;
The second issue is not the same and isn't a regression.

(In reply to comment #1) > The second issue is not the same and isn't a regression. OK. Reposted as issue 7846.
The code this was reduced from still does not compile with -property for the same reason. I will try to create another reduced example and then reopen the issue.
These snippets still expose the buggy behavior even after the fix: --- int[] array; pragma(msg, typeof(array.front)); @property int front(int[] a){return a[0];} --- --- import std.algorithm; alias find!("a == b",int[],int) test; --- I assume it is the same bug in both cases.
