The example was incomplete. I fleshed it out a bit:

---------------------------------
import std.file;

void test(char[] filename)
{
    void [] str;
    try  { str = std.file.read (filename); }
    catch (std.file.FileException)
    {printf("There was a file error. I will quit now.");
    }
}
------------------------------------
and it compiles without error.

If I just go

I'm afraid this problem is seems to be either a flaw in dig or a problem 
in DMD that is much removed from your example.  When I remove the 
reliance on dig, the problem goes away.

The following code (which is similar to your troublesome code) seems to 
compile correctly.

Justin


import std.c.stdio;

class Whatever
{
	int an_integer;
	void something() {  }
	this (Object o) {  }	
}

class GLFrame : public Whatever
{
    this () { super(null); }

    this (Object o, int i)
    {
        super (o);
    }

    void loadData(ubyte [] data)     {     }
}


GLFrame frame;

int main( char [] [] args )
{
    with (frame = new GLFrame())
    {
        printf("Hi");
    }
    return 1;

Yes, I agree.  The compiler should give a helpful error message.

I meant to make the point that if Walter doesn't know what the problem 
is, he can't fix it.  When I reduced down the sample so that it didn't 
include dig, the problem disappeared.  So it sounds like something in 
the thousands of lines of dig modules throws the compiler for a loop. 
The way I see it there are two possibilities:

1) It's valid code and the compiler should compile it without complaint 
(but there's a bug in the compiler).

2) It's invalid code, but the compiler fails to give a helpful message. 
  (This is still what I'd consider a compiler bug, but it's probably 
harder for a compiler writer to find because I'd guess there's more 
emphasis on testing the compiler with correct code than with broken code.)

Either way it seems that this particular error is a needle in a haystack 
of dig code.  The more you can narrow down the problem (by decreasing 
the amount of code that it takes to throw off the compiler), the more 
likely it is that Walter will fix it.

I'm sorry that this probably doesn't help you any.  I just wanted to 
clarify my point.

Good luck with everything.

Yeah, I did look into dig before you said that, but as you say it's a 
thousand lines of code.  At least I can get around it by not using "with".
