digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 14064] New: Error message about attributes incomplete.

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14064

          Issue ID: 14064
           Summary: Error message about   attributes incomplete.
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: issues.dlang jmdavisProg.com

This code

 deprecated void func() {}
void main() {}

results in this error:

q.d(1): Error:  identifier or  (ArgumentList) expected, not  deprecated
q.d(1): Error: valid attributes are  property,  safe,  trusted,  system,
 disable

Notice that the list of valid   attributes is missing  nogc (presumably,

then  nothrow,  pure, and  return will need to be added to the list.

Ideally, I would think that the error message would treat the problem a bit
like happens with a spelling error for variables, and ask if you meant
"deprecated" instead of " deprecated" - at least as long as  deprecated hasn't
been declared as a UDA anyway - but if we're going to give a list of built-in
attributes with  , the list should be correct and complete.
