Description Vincent R 2015-10-30 11:12:33 UTC 
I am using DMD Beta 2.068.2 to compile DGui(https://bitbucket.org/dgui/dgui) and I have an error:

------ Build started: Project: DGui, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Building Debug\DGui.lib...
C:\DEV\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\path.d(1432): Error: not a property r1[0..pos].byUTF!char

After chating a bit on freenode it seems -property is not supported anymore:

[12:00] <foo> smartmobili: don't use "-property" flag
[12:00] <foo> it never worked, and that's what causes error
[12:01] <bar> it breaks UFCS does it?
[12:01] <foo> it breaks alot of things, as it was never really finished
[12:01] <foo> for our case, "dmd -property" yiled the exact error message smartmobili quoted
[12:02] <bar> good catch

sample code to test:

import std.path;

void main () {
  string temp = "temppath";
  temp = std.path.buildPath(temp, "boo.foo");
}


it compiles without "-property", but gives errors with it:

src/phobos/std/path.d(1432): Error: not a property r1[0..pos].byUTF!char
src/phobos/std/path.d(1432): Error: not a property r2.byUTF!char
src/phobos/std/path.d(1233): Error: template instance std.path.chainPath!(char[], const(char)[], ) error instantiating
src/phobos/std/path.d(1251):        instantiated from here: buildPath!(const(char)[][])
z10.d(5):        instantiated from here: buildPath!char

The example compiles with 2.069.
