void main() {
    int[] foo;
    auto bar = new int[10];
    foo[] = bar[];
}


Currently that code gives a runtime error with no line number, dmd 2.061alpha:

object.Error: lengths don't match for array copy

The stack trace helps find the location of such error, but maybe in debug mode (-debug) it's worth using a different _d_arraycopy run-time function that accepts line numbers too (named _d_arraycopy_line or something), so it's able to generate a more specific error message.

This line number inflates the binary, but in debug mode what's important is to locate the errors very well.
