digitalmars.D.bugs - Effectless ExpressionStatement not caught at all

Using DMD 0.128, Windows 98SE.

The compiler passes this without error:

----------
void main() {
     int x;
     int[] y;

     5;
     10 - 7;
     x;
     x + x;
     x * 5;
     y.length;
     y[1];
     y.sizeof / x;
     "Hello, world!";
}
----------

"Expressions that have no effect, like (x + x), are illegal in 
expression statements."

Therefore, apart from the declarations at the top, there is not a single 
legal statement above.

A: http://dstress.kuehne.cn/nocompile/e/ExpressionStatement_03_B.d Because it doesn't test the same issue as the rest. Rather, it parses as a declaration (declare x to be a pointer to an x). Stewart.

Welcome to D. The type "pointer to x" is written as "x*". And the simplest declaration has the form Type Identifier; so of course that's a declaration of a pointer. And Walter told us once upon a time that if a Statement can parse as either DeclarationStatement or ExpressionStatement then it is treated as a DeclarationStatement. What did you think "declare x to be a pointer to an x" looked like? Stewart.

If the above is interpreted as an DeclarationStatement the following code should compile, shouldn't it? void main(){ int x; x * y; // line 3 } a.d(3): x is used as a type Thomas

Oh I see, my modified frontend is behaving differently than the offical one. Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFDFAFT3w+/yD4P9tIRAt95AJ92p4JjfHBxtO7Kx8JoiDYAeXJsDQCgxYNz 1jF1oZ0IAI8Zq9wZjcfeCuY= =0xVO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It doesn't, because x isn't a type. OTOH this will compile: void main() { alias int x; x * y; } or class x { int z; } void main() { x * y; } Stewart.
