The problem is that the semantic engine used by Visual D is working with the DMD frontend of 2.095, but "noreturn" is a new language feature introduced with 2.096. You can filter out messages from "Intellisense" in the Error List window by selecting to show "Build only". I hope I can supply a new version of Visual D with an updated semantic engine soon.
