Summary: Misleading error messages for return expression in void methods. Product: D Version: 1.056 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: s...@q1cc.net --- Comment #0 from Markus Dangl <s...@q1cc.net> 2010-02-25 12:45:45 PST --- dmd 1.056 gives a misleading error message on invalid code. The error was not even reported in my previous version (1.045). Consider the following invalid code: class C { int i; void m() { return i; } } And output of "dmd main.d": main.d(4): Error: dotvar has no effect in expression (this.i) The error message could be much clearer about not being able to return something for a void method. Testing the same thing with a simple function: void m() { return 1; } gives the following output of "dmd main.d": main.d(2): Error: long has no effect in expression (1) Which is still not very clear. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
