            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

This is D2 code:


static foo() {
    return 1.0;
}
enum double x = foo(); // line 4
void main() {}


dmd v2.045 shows at compile time:
test.d(4): Error: forward reference to foo


The error message is wrong in two ways:
- It doesn't show the error of the missing return type of foo at line 1
- There is a forward reference error that D isn't supposed to generate here

The static without return type implies "auto". This is a variation of bug 2810, and the patch there also fixes this testcase.

*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 2810 ***
