Most of of my bugzilla entries are normal bugs, suggestions for improved error messages and diagnostic, Phobos bugs, enhancement requests, _additive_ changes, etc, that don't require any D spec/design change. Only a small percentage of them are "interesting" little not-additive (breaking) changes for D. The ones that I have listed some time ago: Syntax & semantics for array assigns http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3971 [module system] Tiding up the imports http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3819 Signed lengths (and other built-in values) http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3843 [missing error] Array literal length doesn't match Array literal assign to array of different length http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3849 http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3948 opCast(bool) in classes is bug-prone http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3926 Require opEquals/opCmp in a class the defines toHash http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3844 automatic joining of adjacent strings is bad http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3827 pure/nothrow functions/delegates are a subtype of the nonpure/throw ones http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3833 const arguments/instance attributes in conditions/invariants http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3856 bool opEquals() for structs instead of int opEquals() http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3967 byte ==> sbyte http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3936 http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3850 A bug-prone situation with AAs http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3825 Arguments and attributes with the same name http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3878 More useful and more clean 'is' http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3981 ----------------------- Few more added in the meantime: Deferencing a dynamic array as pointer http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3990 Enum equality to an int http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3999 Function pointer/delegate covariance http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4000 Tidier management of static variables in pure functions http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4031 To avoid struct ctor/opCall conflicts http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4053 Steps toward a static foreach (just the first point is enough for now) http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4085 Class method hidden by another one warning http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4216 x.typeof syntax http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4272 Deprecate automatic case fallthrough http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4349 Require explicit braces when 'else' is ambiguous http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4375 Catch wrong argument<->attribute assignments in methods http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4407 Improving the compiler 'in' associative array can return just a bool http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4475 "in" operator for AAs in SafeD code http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4625 Contravariance problem http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4511 Tidier function types http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4530 Non-null class references/pointers http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4571 Compiler option to port C code or disallow some duplicated C syntax http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4580 Lambdas default arguments problems http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4664 Troubles with 'auto ref' http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4668 Built struct is callable without opCall http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4678 Ambiguously designed array syntax http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4703 Possible bugs caused by dynamic arrays in boolean evaluation context http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4733 Bye, bearophile
