           Summary: Better line and column numbers for missing semicolon
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



D forces on the programmer the burden to end lines of code with a semicolon
(unline Scala, Go and other language), this is supposed to offer better error
messages. But if I forget a semicolon in this code:


import std.stdio;
void main() {
    writeln("hello ")
    /*
    ...
    */
    // ...
    writeln("world");
}


Using the -vcolumns dmd switch I receive this error message:

test.d(8,5): Error: found 'writeln' when expecting ';' following statement

In such cases I'd like the compiler to give an error message with line number
and column number closer to where the semicolon should go, to help me fix the
code faster:

test.d(3,21): Error: found 'writeln' when expecting ';' following statement
