digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 10756] New: "has no effect in expression" error message with correct type name

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10756

           Summary: "has no effect in expression" error message with
                    correct type name
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



A low priority enhancement request (in Bugzilla I'd like to be able to give an
importance high, or low, to enhancement requests too):


void main() {
    'a';
    1;
    2U;
    3UL;
    4.0f;
}


dmd 2.064alpha gives:

test.d(2): Error: long has no effect in expression ('a')
test.d(3): Error: long has no effect in expression (1)
test.d(4): Error: long has no effect in expression (2u)
test.d(5): Error: long has no effect in expression (3LU)
test.d(6): Error: double has no effect in expression (4.00000)


I think those error messages should be improved a little, printing the correct
type name.
