Description Hiroki Noda 2018-07-08 13:06:25 UTC 
I found these pathlogical examples pass the lexer:

---
void main()
{
    assert(01 == 1);   // can compile and run.
    assert(010 == 8);  // Error: octal literals 010 are no longer supported, use std.conv.octal!10 instead
}

Comment 2 Steven Schveighoffer 2018-09-14 13:54:47 UTC 
This is a spec issue, literals 01 through 07 are correct decimal literals, so the confusion caused by using octals is not relevant there.

Comment 4 Dennis 2021-07-15 19:06:48 UTC 
As long as neither the spec nor dmd are updated to accommodate the other, this remains an open issue.
