          Issue ID: 24229
           Summary: Parser accepts basic type as primary expression
                    without dot identifier
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: b2.temp@gmx.com

The rule for having a type like int, char, etc. as expression is, according to https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#primary_expressions

```ebnf
FundamentalType "." Identifier
```

so the following code should not parse

```d
ubyte[] v()
{
    ubyte[] buffer;
    buffer ~= char; // here the rhs
    return buffer;
}

enum ubyte a = v()[0]; ```

but instead it does and ends up with a semantic-time error.
