Why is there module conflict?

Question

ma.d

module ma;

struct A{ }

mb.d

module mb;
import ma : A;

struct B{ }

main.d

import ma;
import mb;

void main(){

  A a;
}

When compiled:

main.d(6): Error: ma.A at ma.d(3) conflicts with mb.A at mb.d(2)

In mb.d A is not a public import, so why the error?

Oddly enough, the following code compiles:

main.d

import mb;

void main(){

  A a;
}

So, is this another DMD bug, or have I misunderstood how imports and public imports work?

Answer 1

Issue 314 - [module] Static, renamed, and selective imports are always public
