Built-in properties are not handled correctly

[jacob-carlborg]

Symbols with the same name as the built-in properties [1] are not handled correctly, i.e. they should have a trailing underscore like real keywords. Examples are alignof and mangleof. Some properties applies to all types while some other properties are specific to a subset of types.

Could you provide an example/example translation?

[jacob-carlborg]

The following C code:

struct Foo
{
    int mangleof;
};

Is translated to this D code:

extern (C):

struct Foo
{
    int mangleof;
}

Compiling the above D code will result in the following error:

Error: variable `main.Foo.mangleof` `.mangleof` property cannot be redefined

Assuming that the above link is correct, it would be something like this:

• For classes, structs and enums: init, sizeof, alignof, mangleof, stringof
• For enums: min, max
• For classes: classinfo
