statement is not reachable

[Qian Xu]

Hi All,

I have got a warning by compiling ("gdc file -Wall") the following code
----------------------------------------------------------
module unreachable;
class Foo {
  this(int i) {}
  this(char[] s) {}
  this(char[] s, int flag) {
    if (flag == 1)
    {
      this(1);
      return;
    }
    else if (flag == 2)
    {
      this("hello");
      return;
    }
    throw new Exception("unhandled case");
    this(0); // fake
  }
}
void main()
{
  Foo foo = new Foo("world", 1);
  assert(false, "END");
}
-----------------------------------------------------------

The warning is: "statement is not reachable"

If I use switch-case-statment, I can see even an error message:
"constructor calls not allowed in loops or after labels"



So, is my design incorrect, or is the compiler too strict?
