           Summary: compiler add a cast and then complain that the cast
                    have no effect, giving no .o file
           Product: D
           Version: D1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com

I try to compile, with dmd 1.065 the following:

---
struct u64_t{
  uint lo;
  uint hi;
};

bool is_zero64(u64_t i)    {i.hi==0 && i.lo==0;}
---

but I get:
[paul Arcturus ~]$ dmd -c test.d
test.d(7): Error: == has no effect in expression (i.lo == cast(uint)0)
test.d(7): Error: function test.is_zero64 expected to return a value of type
bool
[paul Arcturus ~]$ 

and I don't seems to find a way to rewrite this without the compiler refusing
it.

sure you didn't mean

bool is_zero64(u64_t i)    {return i.hi==0 && i.lo==0;}

?

You are right...
I had come to think that the value returned by a function was the last
expression evaluated, and then concluded that the return could be removed...
but it seems it is not true.
