This is an example of wrong D2 code that produces a correct error message:


void foo(int x) {
    enum int x2 = x;
}
void main() {}


DMD 2.056head gives:
test.d(2): Error: variable x cannot be read at compile time


This is similar wrong code:

void foo(int x) {
    enum int x2 = x ^^ 2;
}
void main() {}


But here DMD 2.056head gives a less good error message:
test.d(2): Error: variable x is used before initialization
