digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 952] New: Strange "Error:" prefix on some warning messages

           Summary: Strange "Error:" prefix on some warning messages
           Product: D
           Version: 1.005
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: smjg iname.com


Some of the warning messages have this strange wording error (no pun intended)
in them.  For example:

----------
int main() {
        return 1;
        return 0;
}
----------
warning - warning_unreachable.d(3): Error: statement is not reachable
----------

Why the label "Error:" here?  It isn't an error, it's a warning.  Presumably
the intention was for it to output

warning - warning_unreachable.d(3): statement is not reachable

We should get rid of the string "Error:" label especially from warning
messages.  Really, it shouldn't be in any complier messages, perhaps apart from
those for which it doesn't make sense to give a filename and line number.

You could debate whether it should be this or

warning_unreachable.d(3): Warning: statement is not reachable

but that's an aside.

It currently outputs:

testx.d(3): Warning: statement is not reachable

when compiled with -w

This bug is about warning messages _generally_, not just this particular one.

And a new instance has cropped up:

----- switch_fallthrough_b.d -----
void main() {
    char c = 'x';
    switch(c) {
        case 'U', 'u' :
            c = 'q';
        case 'L', 'l' :
            c = 'r';
            // code . . .
        default:
    }
}
----------
C:\Users\Stewart\Documents\Programming\D\Tests>dmd switch_fallthrough_b.d

C:\Users\Stewart\Documents\Programming\D\Tests>dmd -w switch_fallthrough_b.d
switch_fallthrough_b.d(6): Error: switch case fallthrough - use 'goto case;' if
intended
switch_fallthrough_b.d(9): Error: switch case fallthrough - use 'goto default;'
if intended
----------

(In reply to comment #2)

 And a new instance has cropped up:


This will be resolved with pull for Issue 6552.

 This bug is about warning messages _generally_, not just this particular one.


That fix applied to all warning messages. It was nothing to do with that
particular one. The other instance in comment 2 has been fixed in bug 6552.

Please reopen (or create a new bug) if you find any still-failing failing test
cases.
