Description Kenji Hara 2013-04-24 21:28:42 UTC 
By recent dmd commit 0b5641e, the compiler behavior for declaring a struct named 'ModuleInfo' in user module has changed.

After https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/0b5641e ,

Code:
    struct ModuleInfo {}
    void main() {}
Compiles with:
    dmd -o- test
Outputs:
    Error: struct ModuleInfo only object.d can define this reserved struct name

I think this is unnecessary limitation.
