           Summary: Too many error messages with a writeln of fixed size
                    array
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

This is wrong D2 code (because currently D doesn't have variable length arrays,
and n is a run-time value):


import std.stdio;
void main() {
    uint n = 1;
    uint[n + 1] foo;
    writeln(foo);
}


I think it prints too many error messages (DMD 2.060alpha):

test.d(4): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of n + 1u

A related case shown in D.learn (reduced):


import std.stdio: writeln;
void main() {
    immutable int[] A = [1];
    int[A.length] B;
    writeln(A);
    writeln(B);
}


DMD 2.060alpha:

temp.d(3): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of (A =
[1]).length
temp.d(3): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of (A =
[1]).length
temp.d(3): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of (A =
[1]).length
temp.d(3): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of (A =

With this program:

import std.stdio;
void main() {
    uint n = 1;
    uint[n + 1] foo;
    writeln(foo);
}


DMD 2.060beta prints:

temp.d(4): Error: variable n cannot be read at compile time
temp.d(4): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of n + 1u
temp.d(5): Error: template std.stdio.writeln does not match any function
template declaration
...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\stdio.d(1578): Error: template std.stdio.writeln(T...)
cannot deduce template function from argument types !()(_error_)

That I think is now acceptable.


Probably the errors of the second program too are improved:

import std.stdio: writeln;
void main() {
    immutable int[] A = [1];
    int[A.length] B;
    writeln(A);
    writeln(B);
}


but I can't verify the error messages because now it compiles and runs with
output:

[1]
[0]

So I have added a dependency to Issue 8400. Until Issue 8400 is undone I can't
verify this Issue 8312 is truly fixed.

No, this is expected behavior. With the declaration `int[A.lehgth] B;`,
A.length is interpreted to integer constant expression 1, then the type of B is
compiled to int[1], it is _static_ array has 1 length, and the B's elements are
initialized with int.init.

If you think so then close down this bug (and maybe Issue 8400 too).
