This is wrong D2 code:

int foo() {
    assert(.r == 0);
    return 0;
}
enum int r = foo();
void main() {}


dmd 2.043 shows a good enough error message (even if there's no need to print the second error two times):

test.d(2): Error: circular reference to 'r'
test.d(5): Error: cannot evaluate foo() at compile time
test.d(5): Error: cannot evaluate foo() at compile time



This is another wrong D2 program:

int foo() {
    return r;
}
enum int r = foo();
void main() {}


But this time dmd 2.043 shows:
Stack overflow

This looks similar to bug 2315, but I suspect the cause may be quite different.

Fixed a couple of releases ago. Now on both D1 and D2, it displays a message like:

bug.d(42): Error: function bug.foo CTFE recursion limit exceeded
bug.d(43):        called from here: foo()
bug.d(42):        1000 recursive calls to function foo
bug.d(45):        called from here: foo()

and the first case doesn't have a repeated error message, it now displays:

bug.d(47): Error: cannot evaluate foo() at compile time. Circular reference?
bug.d(43):        while evaluating r.init
bug.d(47):        called from here: foo()
