Bug 12879 – Wrong line number for run-time array cast misalignment error

void main() { void[] v = new void[40]; ubyte[7][] b = cast(ubyte[7][])v; } DMD 2.066alpha gives: object.Error@(0): array cast misalignment While I expected something more like: object.Error@(3): array cast misalignment

Results on dmd 2.099.1 core.exception.AssertError@/dlang/dmd/linux/bin64/../../src/druntime/import/core/internal/array/casting.d(62): An array of size 40 does not align on an array of size 35, so `void` cannot be cast to `ubyte[7]` ---------------- ??:? _d_assert_msg [0x5576b5122940] /dlang/dmd/linux/bin64/../../src/druntime/import/core/internal/array/casting.d:62 pure nothrow @nogc @trusted void core.internal.array.casting.onArrayCastError!().onArrayCastError(immutable(char)[], ulong, immutable(char)[], ulong) [0x5576b511a283] /dlang/dmd/linux/bin64/../../src/druntime/import/core/internal/array/casting.d:82 pure nothrow @nogc @trusted ubyte[7][] core.internal.array.casting.__ArrayCast!(void, ubyte[7]).__ArrayCast(return scope void[]) [0x5576b511a112] ./onlineapp.d:3 _Dmain [0x5576b511a077] This looks like a descriptive and accurate error, so I think this should be closed. Is there an easy way to find out which version fixed this? Do we care?

You can try the all compilers option on run.dlang.io It's not a priority though.

Looks like the current error message (or close enough) was added in 2.086.1
