yebblies (Daniel Murphy) is working a lot in squashing a lot of small bugs that
were sleeping in Bugzilla, recently has created a pull request that turns
"override" obligatory:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3836

Time ago in Bugzilla I have put another similar "enhancement" request (but
maybe this is not present in TDPL as the precedent one):
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4216

It asks this code to raise an error, currently it generates a warning:

class A {
  void foo(A a) {}
}
class B : A { // line 4
  void foo(B b) {}
}
void main() {}


What do you think?

This has already been fixed, it will give an error in the next release:

You are doing lot of work in Bugzilla, thank you. Lately I have seen patches
written by you for several small but annoying bugs, I hope to see most of those
things fixed in dmd 2.054.
If you look for things to fix, Don keeps a list of big important bugs, and I
have a different list of little "bugs" (I think you have fixed two or more of
them already).

-------------

I think it's good to make the DMD hacking more accessible, creating a single
HTML page that explains how to get the latest dmd sources, how submit patches,
what are the main subsystems of DMD and how they interact.
A second good HTML page to keep is a list, updated weekly, of bugs to fix,
sorted in few groups, "very easy", "easy", "hard to fix", to offer something to
do to newbies in DMD hacking.

I already have my own list. (~200 bugs)  This particular bug was not fixed 
by me though.

To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this.  Setting up a dev 
environment for dmd shouldn't be too difficult for somebody who is planning 
to patch the compiler.  There is already a guide up somewhere for submitting 
a pull request to phobos.
