When the following is compiled with -w or -wi, it will give a warning without a line number
----
bool addArticle()
{
    scope(failure) return false;
    return true;
}
----
Tested on dmd 2.057 on OS X 64 and Ubuntu 32.

$ dmd -w test.d
Warning: statement is not reachable

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/610

In addArticle function, dmd translates the body code like follows:

try {
  return true;
}
catch (Throwable __o) {
  return false;
  throw __o;  // #1 rethrow catched exception object
}

The "statement is not reachable" warning is caused by line #1.

After my patch, the translation result would change like follows:

try {
  return true;
}
catch (Throwable __o) {
  return false;   // this statement never fall through next.
                  // so next unreachable rethrowing is implicitly removed.
}

Finally, original warning would never be generated.

Technical note:

Maybe, the original issue by Robert Clipsham is "unreachable scope(failure)
should warn "statement is not reachable" _with line number_.
But today it is technically enhancement. Because:

1. Current D2 dmd does only check Exception throwing possibilities in flow
analysis.
That means Throwable is not the target of the analysis. In above code,

    scope(failure) return false;
    return true;    // (a)

dmd does not consider the statement (a) throws Throwable or not.

2. scope(failure) catches Throwable object and rethrow it. Therefore the
scope(failure) statement is always analysed as *may be reachable*.

From the two reasons, current dmd cannot detect that the `scope(failure) return false;` is not reachable.
