Re: DMD can implicitly convert class pointer to the bool. Is it bug or terrible feature?

Andrei Alexandrescu:

class Foo
{
}

class Bar
{
    Foo f;

    void bar()
    {
        //variable was wrongly commented here
        //bool f = true;

        if(f)
        {
            //Oops!
        }
    }
}

If uncommented that would make for a shadow definition error.

Are you saying this code gives or should give errors?


class Foo {}
class Bar {
     Foo f;
     void bar() {
         bool f = true;
         if (f) {}
     }
}
void main() {}
