Bug 1169 – Return statement is not necessary - unreachable

The following function gives out the error "no return at the end of function". Such is not necessary because the end brecket "}" is unreachable. private final class TreeNode { private TreeNode lChild, rChild, bNeigh, lNeigh, rNeigh; public TreeNode getNode(tNode request) { switch (request) { case tNode.lChild: return lChild; case tNode.rChild: return rChild; case tNode.bNeigh: return bNeigh; case tNode.lNeigh: return lNeigh; case tNode.rNeigh: return rNeigh; default: assert(false, "Requested inexistent node"); } }

That's not the error I get: bz1169.d(17): } expected following member declarations in aggregate and even more after I fixed the typo that caused this. Please post code samples that the reader can test straight off. But looking at the problem you report, it would appear to have the same root cause as issue 252.
