Greetings!

Please admire this piece of code.

char[] t = "";
blah
char[] o = "";

if I try to compile this code I get that there is an error on line 3. ie.

jic 15:06:28-> build test00.d
test00.d(3): no identifier for declarator blah
test00.d(3): semicolon expected, not 'char'

if I add a few empty lines to the code, ie.,

jic 15:11:41-> cat test00.d
char[] t = "";
blah




char[] o = "";

and I try to compile that code, I get,

jic 15:11:37-> build test00.d
test00.d(7): no identifier for declarator blah
test00.d(7): semicolon expected, not 'char'

which points to line 7.  Well, the problem is really on line 2, why does the compiler points to line 7 when the problem is really on line 2?  Or, even worse,

jic 15:24:19-> cat test00.d
char[] t = "";
blah

/*
some
comments
here..






*/
char[] o = "";

here is the compiler's output:
jic 15:24:14-> build test00.d
test00.d(15): no identifier for declarator blah
test00.d(15): semicolon expected, not 'char'

Just trying to understand, or is it a bug?  Also, in this last case, the error should have been caught at line 4.

Any ideas?

thanks,

josé

The compiler is correct. Consider the following code:

int
	a
	=
	2;
int		/* A */
	b	/* B */
		/* C */
		/* D */
int c;		/* E */

As you can see the error is at the start of line E and not at the end of A or B.
