i believe that delegates must have parameter declaration before body.

what we got here is block statement followed by empty statement (";"). so compiler can cry about the last if it wants, but not about delegate.

http://dlang.org/grammar.html#FunctionLiteralBody

Function literals do not require parameter lists.

It's perfectly valid to parse the example code as a function literal.

ahem. so it's a bug in specs, i believe, 'cause it's very hard to distinguish block statements from function literals with the current definition, and it's not intuitive at all.

thank you, i somehow missed that thing in specs. making semicolon the only difference is puzzling for programmer.

would you mind to open a topic in NG for this? i believe that in this case specs must be fixed, not compiler.

AFAIK this is intentional.  If this context is ambiguous, it will be parsed as a block statement.  You will probably want to make this a spec bug, but I'll leave that to you.

Marking as duplicate as the other issue is clearer about action needed.
