Another issue I encountered was when I recompiled the library,
dmd 2.065 gave me an error that a goto statement skipped a
variable. The case is as follows:
if (condition) {
goto Label;
}
auto variable = getVariableValue(); // Only needed, if
"condition" above not true
// do things with variable here (needed for what comes after
"Label"
Label:
// Finish everything
I know that scope would be better and this is the only goto I
have left. In order for the code to compile I had to move (as a
quick fix)
auto variable = getVariableValue();
to before the if (condition) statement. Is this by design?
D specs state that gotos can't be used to skip a variable
definition. In the last compiler version this rule has being
implemented and enforced. So the original code was not
D-conformant.
