digitalmars.D.bugs - undefined case identifier can crash dmd compiler

reply Geoff Hickey <Geoff_member pathlink.com> writes:
This is somewhat obscure, but if you have a switch statement with a structure
member as the expression, and you have an undefined identifier in one of your
case  statements, the compiler will crash after reporting the error.

Here's code to reproduce the problem (WinXP, DMD 0.108): (sorry about the
formatting, but I haven't figured out how to get the Direct Read Newsreader to
preserve indents).

struct test
{
uint a;
uint b;
}

int main()
{
test tv;
tv.a = 1;

switch( tv.a )
{
case UNDEF_VALUE:
break;
}

return 0;
}

This is interesting: if the struct member is an uint the compiler segfaults, if the struct member is an int the compiler doesn't segfault.

Sounds like someone's going to be reducing this...

at least part of the problem can be resolved: --- expression.org.c 2004-12-03 19:56:15.504405552 +0100 +++ expression.c 2004-12-03 19:56:27.577570152 +0100 -391,7 +391,7 integer_t Expression::toInteger() { //printf("Expression %s\n", Token::toChars(op)); -*(char*)0=0; + //*(char*)0=0; error("Integer constant expression expected instead of %s", toChars()); return 0; } Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.9.12 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFBsLfk3w+/yD4P9tIRAnVWAKCuoq65UEzdaZFHJ9hRhc7Qtsa2uwCSA8iI wD4R5aXszBupTO0tDKRnFQ== =yNF6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It's fixed now. The compiler now puts out:

test.d(14): undefined identifier UNDEF_VALUE
test.d(14): Integer constant expression expected instead of UNDEF_VALUE

as it should.
