But Error is a subclass of Throwable.

A nothrow function cannot throw anything derived from Exception. It _can_ throw types derived from Error. Normally, no one should be using exception types which aren't derived from Exception or Error. So, this should be a complete non-issue.

It looks like TDPL lists Throwable as throwable in nothrow functions (so, basically any Throwable which is _not_ derived from Exception), whereas the compiler specifically makes Error throwable but disallows throwing Throwable.

Honestly, it probably doesn't really matter which it is. Certainly, it won't matter in good code, since I'm pretty sure there's no valid reason for throwing anything which is not derived from Exception or Error.

But clearly TDPL and the compiler need to be brought in line with one another (either by changing TDPL or changing the compiler). I'd be inclined to go with TDPL on this one, but I don't see how it matters all that much, since it shouldn't impact any real world code either way.

Not Found

The requested URL /dmd.2.059.dmg was not found on this server.

Can I play too please.

This program doesn't work.

import std.stdio;

void main() {
    writeln(1);
}

I get this:
C:\jpro\dpro2\small>dmd dmd59.d
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 8.00.12

dmd59.obj(dmd59)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D3std3utf6toUTF8FNaNbNfJG4awZAa
--- errorlevel 1

C:\jpro\dpro2\small>_

Is it to do with qualifiers?

Thanks for any help.

The 64-bit .deb file worked fine on my Ubuntu system:

Hmm, I overlooked that one.

Which is why I said it's probably an error in TDPL. :P

I.e. nothrow specifically lets you throw anything deriving from Error, nothing else. Anywhere else, you can throw whatever derives from Throwable.

Gah, I just ruined by night by actually
trying to use this release.

78 lines of template instantiation error spam
on code that worked perfectly on 2.058 :(

Including such gems as:

.../phobos/std/conv.d(244): Error: template std.conv.toImpl does not match any function template declaration

and

.../phobos/std/conv.d(244): Error: template std.conv.toImpl matches more than one template declaration, /home/me/d/dmd2/linux/bin32/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(1034):toImpl(T,S) if (!isImplicitlyConvertible!(S,T) && is(S == enum) && isSomeString!(T)) and /home/me/d/dmd2/linux/bin32/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(1155):toImpl(T,S) if (isIntegral!(S) && isSigned!(S) && isSomeString!(T))

and

.../phobos/std/conv.d(244): Error: template std.conv.toImpl does not match any function template declaration


They all seem to be enum <-> string related.

std.conv rox, but it is one very fragile baby :(

It breaks often, and is always a pain to figure out why.
