Issue ID: 23216
Summary: Better Error Message For foreach_reverse Without
Bidirectional Range
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: jack at jackstouffer.com
When a range is given to foreach_reverse, but it doesn't have back and popBack,
DMD gives a confusing error message.
```
import std.algorithm;
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
string a = "This||is||a||test!";
foreach_reverse (word; a.splitter("||"))
writeln(word);
}
```
Gives:
```
Error: invalid `foreach` aggregate `splitter(a, "||")`, define `opApply()`,
range primitives, or use `.tupleof`
```
Expected Behavior:
DMD should detect that the given value is an input range print something like
"Error: Input range splitter(a, "||") passed as foreach aggregate.
foreach_reverse requires a bidirectional range"
