Issue ID: 15498
Summary: Unhelpful error message "destructors, postblits and
invariants are not allowed in overlapping fields"
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This error has been bugging me for hours. I have no idea what it means, or why
it's happening.
Error: struct libep.componentdesc.ComponentDesc destructors, postblits and
invariants are not allowed in overlapping fields info and baseClass
There are no unions in sight... what's the deal?
Here's the code:
struct ComponentInfo
{
SharedString id;
}
struct ComponentDesc
{
ComponentInfo info;
SharedString baseClass;
}
SharedString is:
extern(C++, ep) struct SharedString { /+ some stuff +/ }
Assuming this is some sort of user error, I would like to suggest that this bug
is to improve the error message and tell me what is actually wrong. I can't do
anything with this.
