Issue ID: 22648
Summary: [std.variant.Variant] Incorrectly written unittests
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: [email protected]

The unittests written from the line 2055 to 2058 inclusive are wrong. Their
logic is correct but they're passing by the wrong reasons. Currently, they fail
because of the compile-time error "Error: has no effect". The result of the
comparison is discarded and that results in an error, failing the
'__traits(compiles, ...)' tests. This is unittest in question:
```
@system unittest
{
// check comparisons incompatible with AllowedTypes
Algebraic!int v = 2;
assert(v == 2);
assert(v < 3);
static assert(!__traits(compiles, {v == long.max;}));
static assert(!__traits(compiles, {v == null;}));
static assert(!__traits(compiles, {v < long.max;}));
static assert(!__traits(compiles, {v > null;}));
}
```
To correctly write the test, the value should be explicitly discarded by using
a `cast(void)` in the whole expression, or by returning the result either by
adding a `return` or transforming the lambda in an inline lambda `() =>`;
