Issue ID: 20547
Summary: Wrong error message when trying to "new" an
associative array
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
DMD yields poor error messages when trying to allocate a dynamic array:
void main()
{
int[int] a = new int[int]; // need size of rightmost array, not type int
int[string] b = new int[string]; // cannot pass type string as a function
argument
int[string] c = new typeof(b); // new can only create structs, dynamic
arrays or class objects, not int[string]'s
}
a and b should produce the same output as c.
