November 14, 2004 pretty printing escape char's on error? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Nothing major, but can be confusing: Say I stuff up a string concatination: return " Name: " ~ name \n (... some more stuff); instead of return " Name: " ~ name ~ \n dmd outputs: > "D:\dmd\bin\dmd.exe" card.d -g -ofmain.exe -debug -v card.d(217): found ' ' when expecting ';' following 'return statement' card.d(218): found '~' instead of statement > Terminated with exit code 1. At first glance this looks like it found a ', which is another small, but unnecesary (gah, s and c will be the death of me) hurdle for those new to D (or possibly any language) (also is it at all possible for errors in with scopes to be printed a bit better? They generally show symbols in the error lines in that scope as something like #*(__withSym) + 40 , which isn't very helpful) -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ |
