I'm trying to catch an AssertError in some of my code, but I don't know how to import it with D 2.020.  I believe that it used to be in std.asserterror, but that module doesn't appear to exist anymore and I can't figure out where it is.  There's an AssertException in src/common/core/exception.d.  Did that replace AssertError (the documentation talks about assert throwing AssertErrors though, not AssertExceptions)?  Regardless, importing common.core.exception doesn't work.

Do failed assertions throw AssertError or AssertException?  And what do I have to do in order to be able to catch the appropriate one in my code?

Yes, at least it was supposed to have.  I think the module is just imported as core.exception, though, not common.core.exception.  The documentation most likely has not yet been updated since this change just happened in the last update since Phobos now uses druntime for the features it has in common with Tango.

Using AssertException and importing core.exception does indeed appear to have done the trick.  Thanks.

Ah, I thought I saw this somewhere.

The changelog for 2.020 lists most/all of the changes that you'll have to make when you switch to it.  std.asserterror and AssertError are among the changes ;)

Alias AssertException to AssertError for now.  It will be renamed to AssertError in 2.021.
