https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22134 Issue ID: 22134 Summary: Deprecate returning a void value from a function Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com Reporter: ibuclaw@gdcproject.org For example: libdparse has an opIndex returning the value of a `void[]`. https://github.com/dlang-community/libdparse/blob/fbdf71b929a9f9bc982d0204f921371806e5d412/src/dparse/stack_buffer.d#L73-L82 --- struct StackBuffer { auto opIndex(size_t i) { return arr[i]; } private: void[] arr; } --- This is clearly a dead function, as any use of it will result in the error: --- Error: variable `var` type void is inferred from initializer `buf.opIndex(0LU)`, and variables cannot be of type void Error: expression buf.opIndex(0LU) is void and has no value --- -- | ||||
