D2 code:


enum size_t N = 1;
int[bar.length] foo;
int[N] bar;
void main() {}


DMD 2.055 gives:

Error: cannot create associative array int[N]


This is a very nice bug. There are three problems here: refusing valid code, thinking bar is an associative array instead of a fixed-sized one, and giving no line number.

The problem here is that TypeAArray::getImpl is being called on bar before semantic has, therefore there is no scope or location.  Of the three problems, the lack of scope causes the failure to lookup N (and therefore the failure to recognize bar as a static array), and also the lack of a file/line number.
