Otherwise I suspect this is a conflict between two versions of the compiler. If you had one installed before then updated it or maybe if visual d installed a different one, this could be a problem. So either some old files were left behind or there's two copies installed and VS is running one but pointing at the other. Or something. The noreturn thing is relatively new making me think this might be the case. The compiler and stdlib are ridiculously tightly coupled so any version mismatch can cause trouble. just guessing though. Actually, you were right. I was about to write that updating Visual D to the latest version worked. I'm sorry for this silly thread. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

The weird thing is that I get these errors just in the errors frame, but building works just fine without errors. If I run devenv.exe directly on the solution, or select "build" from the menu, it builds fine; just, I don't get autocompletion or go-to-definition for some symbols. Debugging works as well (although I see mangled symbol names, but I guess it's how it is supposed to work).

Visual D showing weird errors
Hello, I'm new to the language; I just started learning it a few months ago. I'm doing okay with it, I find it very versatile and fast to learn. I come from Java and C/C++ and I think D solves tons of problems I had with these. I was trying the Visual D extension to Visual Studio, but after the first code generation (DLL library, x86 & x64 both checked), I get this weird error: ``` C:\D\dmd2\src\druntime\import\core\sys\windows\dll.d: \object.d(18): can only `*` a pointer, not a `typeof(null)` ``` So I opened the object.d in VS and apparently, this is the line of code it's yelling at: ``` alias noreturn = typeof(*null); /// bottom type ``` I am unsure how to solve this problem. It doesn't appear to happen if I choose "console application" instead of "DLL Library". Although, errors do appear if I try to inspect, for example, stdio.d: ``` Error: C:\D\dmd2\src\druntime\import\object.d(3460): template instance `object._dup!(const(char), immutable(char))` error instantiating C:\D\dmd2\src\druntime\import\object.d(3438): instantiated from here: `_trustedDup!(const(char), immutable(char))` C:\D\dmd2\src\phobos\std\exception.d(516): instantiated from here: `idup!(const(char))` C:\D\dmd2\src\phobos\std\exception.d(437): instantiated from here: `bailOut!(Exception)` --> instantiated from here: `enforce!(void*)` ``` and also: ``` Error: C:\D\dmd2\src\phobos\std\exception.d(437): template instance `std.exception.bailOut!(ErrnoException)` error instantiating --> instantiated from here: `enforce!(shared(_iobuf)*)` ``` and others. Since these are thrown by the standard library, I suspect this could be a bug; but maybe I'm just missing something? Thank you for your help.
