           Summary: Forward reference error from static function with no
                    return type
           Product: D
           Version: future
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



This is D2 code:


static foo() {
    return 1.0;
}
enum double x = foo(); // line 4
void main() {}


dmd v2.045 shows at compile time:
test.d(4): Error: forward reference to foo


The error message is wrong in two ways:
- It doesn't show the error of the missing return type of foo at line 1
- There is a forward reference error that D isn't supposed to generate here

PDT ---
The static without return type implies "auto". This is a variation of bug 2810,
and the patch there also fixes this testcase.
