https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15498 Issue ID: 15498 Summary: Unhelpful error message "destructors, postblits and invariants are not allowed in overlapping fields" Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: turkeyman gmail.com This error has been bugging me for hours. I have no idea what it means, or why it's happening. Error: struct libep.componentdesc.ComponentDesc destructors, postblits and invariants are not allowed in overlapping fields info and baseClass There are no unions in sight... what's the deal? Here's the code: struct ComponentInfo { SharedString id; } struct ComponentDesc { ComponentInfo info; SharedString baseClass; } SharedString is: extern(C++, ep) struct SharedString { /+ some stuff +/ } Assuming this is some sort of user error, I would like to suggest that this bug is to improve the error message and tell me what is actually wrong. I can't do anything with this. --
