           Summary: Bad error message when symbol is not found in
                    selective import
           Product: D
           Version: D1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: leandro.lucarella@sociomantic.com

Test case (tested only in DMD 1.071):

---
touch m1.d
echo 'import m1 : non_exitent_symbol;' > m2.d
dmd -c m2.d
m2.d(1): Error: import __anonymous non_exitent_symbol not found
m2.d(1): Error: alias m2.non_exitent_symbol recursive alias declaration
---

Various things can be improved here:

* __anonymous should be m1
* Could be better phrased, something like: symbol 'non_exitent_symbol' not
found in module 'm1'
* The second error looks bogus, should probably be removed

More information about the __annonymous thing: is produced by Import::addAlias:

    if (!aliasId)
        this->ident = NULL;     // make it an anonymous import

I don't know why is that there, I guess there is a reason, otherwise it should be easy to fix :P

OK, I marked this bug as a duplicate of that on(In reply to comment #3)
> See also bug 4563

They are the same bug, so I marked this as a duplicate of that, I didn't found it when I reported this one.

The patch should be completely outdated then, so I'll remove the pull request too...
