D - [Segfaulting BUG] typedefing function pointers

reply Lars Ivar Igesund <larsivar igesund.net> writes:
The following code crash dmd with no error message:

<--------------------

int function() foo;
typedef foo bar;

<--------------------

I suppose it isn't allowed to typedef function pointers,
but still, an error message would be nice :)

Another one in a similar vein. The following code crash
dmd with no error message:

<----------------------

int function() foo;
int bar(foo fp);

<----------------------

I believe that function pointers as function parameters
are allowed.

But isn't foo a variable not a type? Should error anyway. Sam

You're right of course. My fault. But it shouldn't segfault. Lars Ivar Igesund

the expression 'int function() foo;' doesn't declare a type. It creates a global called foo, which is a pointer to a function that accepts no arguments, and returns an int. 'typedef foo bar;' on the next line is therefore complete nonsense. What you probably want is typedef int function() bar; Regardless, it shouldn't segfault the compiler. :) -- andy
