Bug 1221 – Incorrect template return value

Something weird happens here: template foo() { const char[] foo = ""==null ? "" : ""; } // Error: pragma msg string expected for message, not '"" == null ? "" : ""' pragma(msg, foo!()); // Error: pragma msg string expected for message, not 'char[]' pragma(msg, typeof(foo!())); // But this works correctly pragma(msg, typeof(foo!()).stringof); // prints 'char[]' // Error: pragma msg string expected for message, not 'bar' template bar() { const bar = ""==null ? "" : ""; } // Error: pragma msg string expected for message, not 'char[0]' pragma(msg, foo!());

The second pragma was invalid and the last one had a typo, but otherwise seems to work now at least with dmd 1.021.
