           Summary: Incorrect error message for a class left open
           Product: D
           Version: 0.157
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW

class c {

The above code causes DMD to error with "filename.d(1): struct member
expected".

First, what does a struct have to do with anything? That's a class, not a
struct. So at the very least the message should read "class member expected".

But second, since what is actually missing is an ending curly bracket for class
c, the message should, in my opinion, suggest something towards that end. After
all, adding more members to the struct (sic) doesn't solve the problem, but
adding an ending '}' does.

Fixed in DMD 0.160. The new and improved error message reads "} expected
following member declarations in aggregate".
