I'm building a library that uses vibe-core as an indirect dependency. Specifically, I'm testing the library with dub test.

A very odd thing happens as I'm picking off compiler errors one at a time. After all the errors that I created are listed, I get this list:

And then it just abruptly ends there.

I'm not sure why all these errors come out. Looking at the code, it seems to have nothing to do with my code. Once I fix my code errors (which are legitimate errors that I made), then these mysteriously go away. I'm not calling any of these functions that it's spitting out.

Why are these being triggered? Why do they all of a sudden go away? Does anyone else see this? Is it specifically something with vibe-core? Is it something to do with dub?

Those are signed unsigned mismatches when it tries to lock.
that's probably in vibe-d

Can you explain why I do not get the errors when I have taken care of my errors?

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I've observed this behavior as well. From what  can tell, it's a false positive that only shows up in the presence of previous error. I'd say that has something to do with the way the compiler do semantic analysis. My money is on the fact that `core.atomic` is special, and that something else (bad error gagging, perhaps?) triggers an error. As far as I can tell, it is safe to ignore.

If you can reduce it to something small enough, I'd say it's worthy of an issue tho.

This is a regression caused by https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10711

Thanks for finding that!

I wasn't sure where the culprit was.
