           Summary: unfortunate comment in stdlib.d
           Product: DGCC aka GDC
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: dvdfrdmn at users.sf.net
        ReportedBy: afb at algonet.se


(GDC r199)

Got a strange error with the innocent
  alias std.c.stdlib.atof atof;
(whilst trying to keep std.string and std.c.stdlib apart)
  Error: identifier 'atof' of 'std.c.stdlib.atof' is not defined

Turned out the placement of the comment was unfortunate:

    version (GNU)
    {
        private import gcc.config.errno;
        alias gcc.config.errno.ERANGE ERANGE;
    }
    else
        //const int ERANGE = 34;        // on both Windows and linux

double atof(char *);    ///
int    atoi(char *);    /// ditto

Alternatively, it forgot to comment out the else.
