             Bug #: 19
           Summary: byte b; --b = b; // error: non-trivial conversion
                    (int/byte) /w wrong line number
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: GDC
           Version: 4.7.x
          Platform: x86_64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gdc
        AssignedTo: ibuclaw at gdcproject.org
        ReportedBy: Marco.Leise at gmx.de


While I was experimenting with some bit twiddling hacks, I noticed that DMD
2.060 compiles this, while GDC doesn't. It is not a normal error message though
(translation to English by me):

sudoku.d: In function »sudoku.solve«:
sudoku.d:225:0: Error: non-trivial conversion on assignment
int
byte
*__assignop1747 = D.9717;

sudoku.d:225: confused by previous errors, abort

It prints the line number of the function, not that of the assignment in
question.
Should this problem have been detected in an earlier compilation stage ?
Is there some disagreement on the return type of the prefix (de/in)crement
operator between DMD and GDC ?
