           Summary: Do not show errors that refer to __error
           Product: D
           Version: D1 & D2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: nfxjfg gmail.com



dmd should not output error messages like these:

Error: function expected before (), not __error of type TOK149

I have never seen an error message that refers to __error, and that I wanted to
see. They don't add any additional value, and are only (by definition?) caused
by preceding, actual errors. They are only noise and don't add any additional
value.

__error is a new improvement to the compiler to supress spurious error messages. (in previous releases, it would have been 'int'). You should never see them. Please post any test cases which produce them. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Don, it seems to happen all the time. Normally I fix my compilation error right
away, so I don't have a test case ready. See bug 4335 for one.

Copied from bug 4335 for convenience:

---
import std.stdio;
void main() {
    writeln("bug");
}
---

t.d(3): Error: 'writeln' is not defined, perhaps you need to import std.stdio;
?
t.d(3): Error: function expected before (), not __error of type _error_

(the first wrong error message is what bug 4335 is about)

BTW, note that this testcase is, unfortunately, D1 only.

It's possible that this is D1-only, I noticed the thing above only when working
with D1 code.

Come on, fellas, you can do better than that. Here's 3 examples, and the last
one produces a segfault. 

void bug4329()
{
   with(great!().trepidation) return;               
   try{
        throw CautionToTheWind;
    } catch(LifeThreatening illness){}
}

And here are another seven cases I found.

TEST CASE B:
--------------
void bug4329b()

   create!().havoc!();
   delete something;
    mixin(chaos);
}
bug.d(25): Error: template instance template 'create' is not defined

bug.d(27): Error: undefined identifier chaos
bug.d(27): Error: argument to mixin must be a string, not (__error)
bug.d(27): Error: argument to mixin must be a string, not (__error)

TEST CASE C:
--------------
void bug4329c()
{
    delete and!(crash);
}
bug.d(33): Error: identifier 'crash' is not defined
bug.d(33): Error: and!(_error_) is not an lvalue
bug.d(33): Error: cannot delete type void

TEST CASE D:
--------------
void bug4329d() {
    make!(mess);   
    switch(2) {
        case 3:.. case 6.7:
        case closed:
    }
}
bug.d(37): Error: identifier 'mess' is not defined
bug.d(37): Error: make!(_error_) has no effect
bug.d(39): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (6.7) of type double to
i
nt
bug.d(39): Error: first case 3 is greater than last case __error
bug.d(40): Error: undefined identifier closed

This is a case I have found:

void main() {
    int[] a = cast(int[])array(iota(10));
}


dmd 2.047 prints:
temp.d(2): Error: undefined identifier array
temp.d(2): Error: undefined identifier iota
Error: cannot cast _error_ to int[]

Original D1 case is patched here:
https://github.com/donc/dmd/commit/1acd2b64b10c4a985a10750d5ad83a0b7e98332b
Other cases patched for D2:
https://github.com/donc/dmd/commit/3a512771e31de4fb8b4e806154b08766fd97aed1
and for D1:
https://github.com/donc/dmd/commit/327afade5bfe0551176ee17ab6c991139dcb8058

Another test case from bug 5288:
auto bug4329e(int z) {
    if (z) return undefined;
    else return 0;
}
fixed here:
