Description Haruki Shigemori 2010-01-01 07:17:36 UTC 
// main.d
import std.stdio;
struct S
{
	this(int x) {}
}
class A
{
	const S s = {1};
}
void main() {}


$ dmd main.d
Error: struct S has constructors, cannot use { initializers }, use S( initializers ) instead



This error message is written to standard output, but standard error output, and has not an error line number.

Trivial. Missing 'loc' in error call.

PATCH: init.c, StructInitializer::semantic(), line 158.

        if (ad->ctor)
-            error("%s %s has constructors, cannot use { initializers }, 
use
+             error(loc, "%s %s has constructors, cannot use { initializers }, use %s( initializers ) instead",
                ad->kind(), ad->toChars(), ad->toChars());
