http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4544 Summary: Better error-message when expecting string but got a character constant Product: D Version: D2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: andrej.mitrovich gmail.com 07:01:28 PDT --- In this example single quotes were used instead of double quotes by accident: import std.stdio; void main() { writeln('test'); } This spits out way too many error lines: test.d(5): unterminated character constant test.d(5): found 'est' when expecting ',' test.d(5): unterminated character constant test.d(5): found ';' when expecting ',' test.d(6): expression expected, not '}' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' test.d(7): found 'EOF' when expecting ',' test.d(7): expression expected, not 'EOF' I'm hoping for a simpler error message than all of this. :) -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
