          Issue ID: 14112
           Summary: Phobos git master doesn't build with MSVC-built
                    compiler (DIP25)
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD

If you build a 64-bit dmd.exe from git master with Visual Studio, Phobos
doesn't build any more. I get an error inside unicode_tables.d.

Here's a reduced test case:

///////// test.d ////////
struct FullCaseEntry
{
    dchar[3] seq;

    auto value() return
    {
        return seq[0..1];
    }
}
/////////////////////////

Compiler output:

test.d(5): Error: function declaration without return type. (Note that
constructors are always named 'this')
test.d(6): Error: no identifier for declarator value()return

Miraculously, it's fixed if "return" is replaced with " return".

Sounds like an uninitialized variable?
