D2 code:

void main() {
    const float[1] a;
    const(float[1]) b;
    const(float)[1] c;
}


DMD 2.052 shows the compile error messages:
test.d(2): Error: slice a[] is not mutable
test.d(3): Error: slice b[] is not mutable
test.d(4): Error: slice c[] is not mutable

I think such error messages are not clear enough.

What do you suggest? "Missing value for a constant fixed array"?

This sounds better than the current error message.


Noted: currently this code is accepted:

struct Foo {}
void main() {
    const(Foo) f;
}


f is initialized to a const .init.

This was a rejects-valid. Fixed in 2.060+.
