Bug 12331 – Wrong error message for undefined identifier at compile-time

This is wrong code: int[] foo() { int[] result; result.reserve = 5; foreach (item; result) result ~= r; return result; } enum r = foo(); void main() {} dmd 2.066alpha gives an error message that I don't understand: test.d(1,7): Error: function test2.foo circular dependency. Functions cannot be interpreted while being compiled test.d(8,13): called from here: foo() test.d(8,13): called from here: foo() If I remove the compile-time call it gives the right error message: int[] foo() { int[] result; result.reserve = 5; foreach (item; result) result ~= r; return result; } //enum r = foo(); void main() {} test.d(5,19): Error: undefined identifier r

DMD 2.073.2 gives: f625.d(6): Error: circular initialization of variable 'f625.r' foo is allowed to read global enum r, so this seems correct behaviour. What else should be done?

the message is good now
