           Summary: static if as final statement with no code causes
                    containing code to be skipped
           Product: D
           Version: 1.027
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: jarrett.billingsley@gmail.com


Hard to describe.

---------------------
void foo()
{
        Stdout.formatln("I'm transient.");

        static if(true)
        {
                // Comment me.
                Stdout.formatln("true.");
        }
        else
        {
        }
}

void main(char[][] args)
{
        foo();
}
---------------------

This code prints

I'm transient.
true.

As expected.

Comment the "comment me" line, however, and the "I'm transient" is never printed.

Alternatively, change the "static if(true)" to "static if(false)" and the same
thing happens since the 'else' is empty.

Ways to make it go away:
- Have at least one statement in the static if clause that is selected.  Even a
no-op statement such as "int x = void;".
- Have more than one statement before the static if.
- Have at least one statement after the static if.

I'm really kind of flabbergasted.

Adding an extra statement like 'int x;' at the top of foo() also fixes it.

This bug is strikingly similiar to issue 1559.  In fact, it behaves exactly the same, except it's 'static if' instead of 'version'.
