This code (cut down from Mike Parker's Derelict project) causes an assertion in the compiler:
Assertion failure: 'f' on line 2695 in file 'expression.c'



private import std.loader;

struct SDL_version {}
void SDL_VERSION(SDL_version* X) {}

extern(C):
typedef SDL_version* function() pfSDL_lv();
pfSDL_lv        SDL_lv;


private HXModule hsdl;

public void DSDL_Load()
{
	SDL_lv = cast(pfSDL_lv) ExeModule_GetSymbol(hsdl, "SDL_lv");
}

/+ lv = Linked_Version +/

Here's a shorter version (same problem):

struct v {}
typedef v* function() p();
p pvar;

void* Get()
{
    return null;
}

void Load()
{
    pvar = cast(p) Get();
}

I've worked it out. The problem is the extra set of parentheses after the function name in the declaration:

typedef v* function() p();
                        ^ here

A typo, of course <blush>. So is this a situation where the compiler should spit out an error along the lines of "Expected ; found ()"?
