Issue ID: 17073
Summary: Priority clash with `void` default initialization of
struct fields
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If a struct field is default-initialized to `void` then this will override any
later default initialization of a whole instance of that struct.
For example, in the following code:
//////////////////////////////
struct Inner
{
uint alpha = void;
uint beta = 66;
}
struct Outer
{
Inner inner = Inner(23, 99);
}
void main ()
{
import std.stdio : writeln;
Outer outer;
outer.inner.writeln;
}
//////////////////////////////
... the result with dmd is that `outer.inner` is `Inner(0, 99)` instead of the
expected `Inner(23, 99)`.
Compiling with e.g. LDC produces the expected result of `Inner(23, 99)`.
Note, the issue still appears even if DMD is used with the same frontend
version as LDC. This therefore appears to be a DMD backend issue.
