According to Andrej it's supposed to be a warning only. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5185#issuecomment-168821489 But the changed code triggers an error due to a disabled constructor. ---- cat > bug.d << EOF struct S { this(string r = ".") { } } void test() { S s; } EOF dmd -c -w bug ---- bug.d(2): Warning: constructor bug.S.this default constructor for structs only allowed with @disable, no body, and no parameters bug.d(7): Error: variable bug.test.s default construction is disabled for type S ----
Am I missing something? I assumed this would just be a straightforward "structs cannot have a 0-arg constructor, even by using default arguments", regardless of use. Why push the error message down to the user of the struct? Any use case of the default argument is an error, therefore the default arguement should itself be an error.

It is build that way, only a warning for now, but something went wrong and now there is an additional error on usage.

Edgy people insisting on using -de have to immediately deal w/ deprecations. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/e50f8aa63356b767c713b50c4d944e9b28345de7 Merge pull request #5331 from MartinNowak/fix15500 fix Issue 15500 - default construction disabled for struct constructor with default arguments
