You can filter out messages from "Intellisense" in the Error List window by selecting to show "Build only". I hope I can supply a new version of Visual D with an updated semantic engine soon. That would be awesome There is a new version 1.1.1 available now with the semantic engine updated to dmd 2.096.1. Splendid, thanks! Will try it out soon

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.
