Same here. BTW I'd like unittests that "must not compile" and
unittests that "must fail dynamically".
For the former case, the compiler should cooperate:
@incompilable unittest { ... }
fails if it passes compilation. So the compiler must know about
that attribute.
Right now I think you're right and the compiler needs to know.
But let me see what I can do about it with the language we have
now.
For the latter case, no change in language is necessary, only
in druntime:
@mustfail unittest { ... }
As previously mentioned, unit-threaded has this.
