void asdf(inout int foobar) {}

void main() {

	asdf(foo);
}

The types can be anything, as long as they don't match. Also, foobar must be out or inout.

Result:
Error "cast(int)(foo) is not an lvalue".
And the compiler crash, of course: "dmd.exe has encountered a problem", etc.

All "invalid lvalue" errors will result in a crash, as Walter has inserted a *cast(void*)0=0 in the function that detects invalid lvalues as a debugging aid, and he never took it out when he released 0.128.  It'll be gone next patch (I hope).

Ah, thanks. That explains a couple of bugs I've submitted here, and I probably would have submitted more if you hadn't told me this :-)
