The following will not compile, it give the followig error : cannot goto into try block

class Test
{
 Object o;
 int c;

 Object failToCompile(  )
 {
  if ( o == null )
  {
   try
   {
    if ( c < 33 )


     if ( c == 0 ) { return null; }
    }
   }
   catch ( Exception e )
   {
   }
  }
  return o;
 }
}

curiously removing the if ( c== 0) allows it to compile, and in this
example removing the if (o==null) does not but in the original code (which
was more complex) it did.

as an aside, commenting out the return does not give a 'this function has a
missing return value' but this error
: cannot goto forward into different try block level
as opposed to
: failToCompile function expected to return a value of type Object

only seems to occur in member functions. if its not a member function then removing the return will result in it compiling without error.

I have to admit to being confused by the error message I assume it internal exception stuff or have I totally missed the meaning of the error message.

Ok, I'll check into it. Thanks! -Walter

This problem could be resolved so:

[dmd\src\phobos\object.d]
remove line: "extern (C) static int printf(char *, ...);"
add    line: "import c.stdio;"

Then everything works OK. =]

How do think?
