This is not a regression. Rather the behavior change was an actual fix of
rejects-valid bug.



 DMD 2.065: 
 test.d(7): Error: == has no effect in expression (fun().i == 4)


'fun' is not pure, so essentially its call could have side effect. So the error
message was incorrect in 2.065 and earlier.


 DMD master compiles.


Therefore, current git-head behavior is correct.

Even if fun is not pure, the code performs two redundant operations (obtaining
a field of the result, then comparing it to something).

fun();

This should compile.

fun().i == 4;

This should not.


 Rather the behavior change was an actual fix of rejects-valid bug.


In a [Refactoring] pull request?

I should note that the error WAS working as intended - this was a bug in my
code, I intended to write "fun().i = 4" (the function returned by ref in my
code), but did not catch the bug until I spotted it accidentally. So this is
definitely a regression which affects real use cases.

OK, I confirmed the issue. It's a bug in the value discarding check.

And, this is 2.066 git-head only regression.

fix Issue 12390 - "has no effect in expression" diagnostic regression

When value discarding check on statements, the side-effect check should not be
done deeply.
