D 2.021 changelog says:
Added -safe switch and module(system) Identifier; syntax.

But documentation[1] says:

Safe Modules

Safe modules are modules marked as safe by the (safe) appearing in the ModuleDeclaration. Safe modules are assumed to correctly implement a safe memory model, and are not checked by the compiler for such even if directed to.


Trying an example using module (safe) I get:
test.d(2): (safe) expected, not safe

=/

module (system) works, so I guess the documentation is just outdated, as well as the compiler error message.

Is the -safe flag supposed to work? How?

I assume you are right, for information on -safe see SafeD

The doc is outdated. I'll fix it.

Yes, I read that document, but what I mean is that I've created a simple test:

int* x = cast(int*) 9283;

And it compiles without warnings or errors, with or without module
(system). That doesn't looks safe in terms of memory to me ;-)

Should I fill a bug for the compiler error message?

I've already fixed it in the source code, so no need.

Almost none of the checks are implemented, I just put the scaffolding in.
