[Issue 8433] Compiler could warn on static if checks which can't branch
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8433 Mathias LANG changed: What|Removed |Added CC||pro.mathias.l...@gmail.com --- Comment #3 from Mathias LANG --- My issue with such a check is that the code is not *clearly* wrong. As a result, it can trigger false positive (very easily, given D's metaprogramming abilities) and those are extremely frustrating to the user and mostly negate the benefits of the warning (because the one benefiting from it are not the ones "paying the price"). It's been 6 years, do you think we should close this ? --

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8433 --- Comment #2 from Andrej Mitrovic 2012-07-25 11:12:27 PDT --- I'd like to just keep this in Bugzilla for the time being. I know it's problematic and might even slow down compilation considerably, so maybe it's best to just discuss about it sometime. It could be a nice feature to have if you rely on compile-time branching a lot. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---

You'd have to enumerate the cases that are detected and the cases that are not, which has the side effect of prohibiting improving it. You don't really want a situation where code compiles with one compiler and does not with another, even with both being standard conforming. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---
