I think that every error message should provide a filename and line number.
This error message provides neither.

Example:

<code>
static int[] x = [-1: 1];

void main()
{

}
</code>

On compile, the error message omits filename and line number:
"Error: array dimension overflow"

I think the reason is in dmd/init.c:
(line 379)          error("array dimension overflow");

I think it should be:
(line 379)          error(loc, "array dimension overflow");
