Thanks for the solid bug report. Unfortunately, I won't be able to work on LDC during the next two weeks, but I'll try to have a look at it as soon as possible in February.

As we can see, in frame 1 the ThisExp ("this.i") is being evaluated from function is "void b()". "getParentFunc" tries its best to put a hand on "this" parent while checking that it's function "void b()", but this never happens. At some point before, in function "void a()", I suspect that the ThisExp was given "void a()" as its parent symbol, and that never changed since then.

(gdb) fr 12
#12 0x00000000008de3d0 in ExpStatement::toIR (this=0x1e185d0, p=0x7fffffffd240) at /home/smunix/programming/d-projects/ldc/gen/statements.cpp:208
208 e = exp->toElemDtor(p);
(gdb) p p->func()->decl->toChars()
$105 = 0x1e17e74 "b"

(gdb) fr 1
#1 0x00000000008be040 in DtoNestedVariable (loc=..., astype=0x1e16d80, vd=0x1eb61d0, byref=true) at /home/smunix/programming/d-projects/ldc/gen/nested.cpp:86
86 fd = getParentFunc(fd, false);
(gdb) p fd->toChars()
$102 = 0x1e17e74 "b"
(gdb) p vd->toParent2()->toChars()
$103 = 0x1e17584 "a"
(gdb) p vd->toChars()

As the following excerpt (func=DtoNestedVariable, file nested.cpp) from the code shows it, we are in function b and we check whether we can assess the needed frame or not. "assert(fd)". Since this->parent is "a" and not "b", we'll never reach "b"'s frame from the this pointer. At one point, fd turns out to be null and the assertion fails.

// Check whether we can access the needed frame
FuncDeclaration *fd = irfunc->decl;
while (fd != vdparent) {
    if (fd->isStatic()) {
        error(loc, "function %s cannot access frame of function %s", irfunc->decl->toPrettyChars(), vdparent->toPrettyChars());
        return new DVarValue(astype, vd, llvm::UndefValue::get(getPtrToType(DtoType(astype))));
    }
    fd = getParentFunc(fd, false);
    assert(fd);
}

I still need to figure out why "this" keeps saying that its parent function is "void a() {}" while being accessed from function "void b() {}".

@John-Colvin: Thanks a lot for revisiting the open issues! Wish I could spend more time actually hacking on LDC right now…

Upstream is fixed and merged.
