digitalmars.D.learn - incomprehensible return error bug?

reply strtr <strtr spam.com> writes:
enum { A = 0, B, C }

void func(){ return A; }

void main()
{
}

main.d(1): Error: long has no effect in expression (0)

Is this a bug?

This error also points to the enum which is probably incorrectly used somewhere s_def(32) Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (5) of type int to S Still searching for the original bug btw :(

Found it, also a return type mismatch problem; returning a enum member where the encapsulating struct should have been returned.

BTW, the function says void ( no return ) and you try tu return an integer ( form a enum ) yea, is incomprehensible but is not wrong

also , why in the world would you try to convert a manifest constant into a struct

Oh, you misunderstand (I was probably not clear enough :) I know the bugs in my program were mine, but I think that the incomprehensibility of the error is a bug in dmd. They should point of type mismatch location, not to the enum line.
