interesting this would make things easier to use |

Doesn’t this apply to more traits than those mentioned above?

Yes, but it does not affect them; more specifically: from a total of 5 affected traits we have hasMember, that was already working and SCOPE.noaccesscheck does not affect it and getVirtualMethod/Functions for which it does not apply, because private members are never virtual. The other 2 are specified.

What about protected, did that already work.

Ok, this causes phobos to break; silent change of code behavior. Ideas? I don't see other way then to deprecate this trait and implement a new one :-S |

That Phobos test is broken and should be removed - it specifically is
testing if getMember failed on a private member!

@adamdruppe yeah, I think that commenting it and then fixing it after this is merged is the way to go |

| This fixes a long-standing issue in D where the allMembers trait would correctly return non-public members but those non-public members would be inaccessible to other traits. |

The problem I and other encountered is also tied to the fact that a library trait located in one module could not work at a at the use site because it was instantiated elsewhere. The same library trait, copied (or mixed in) at the use site worked just fine.

I forgot to say but somewhere it should be documented that from now it's a good practice to check the protection and to apply it unless "you know what you do".

Why is this wrapped in a __traits(compiles? We can drop that.

I simply copy pasted the test. Yes we can, done.

Thanks! __traits(compiles is a bit of an anti-pattern in compilation as you don't get the real error message if you change/break DMD and the test fails.
As far as I am concerned, yes. |

well, this is exciting!

I should mention that we should remove the old access mechanism altogether. |
