Issue ID: 12579 Summary: DMD rejects valid function literal Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com Reporter: brian-sch...@cox.net >From the grammar documentation: Decl: StorageClasses(opt) BasicType Declarator FunctionBody DMD rejects the following code: void function() foo {}; and accepts the following: void function() foo = {}; According to the grammar spec, the latter should be parsed as a variable declaration whose type is "void function()", with a name of "foo" and an empty struct initializer. (By the way, the grammar does not allow empty struct initializers). This should not pass semantic analysis because a struct literal is not of type void function(). --
