           Summary: dmd crash with writeln of functions
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



D2 code, compiled with dmd 2.047:


import std.stdio;
void main() {
    string a();
    writeln(typeid(typeof(a)));
    string function() b;
    writeln(typeid(typeof(b)));
}


By the way, what's the point in allowing/keeping ugly and error-prone function
literals in D2?

It's better for D2 to keep/allow only _one_ standard, clean and readable syntax
for functions pointers (and one for delegates, if necessary). Keeping C
function pointer syntax or something similar in D2 causes troubles.

Um.. stop that. Don't mix bug reports with discussion of only semi-related stuff together. Don't use bugzilla as a discussion thread in general.

You are right, that muddles two different things. To fix the situation I have closed it and created a bug report (4529) and an enhancement request (4530). Sorry, bye, bearophile

Closed because Brad Roberts has correctly noted this is a bug report and an
enchantment request in one.
