Bug 3076 – ICE[ztc\cod1.c:1673] - Compiler doesn't care about struct types in initializers

The compiler doesn't seem to care if you initialize a struct variable with a struct of an incorrect type. Maybe it's supposed to be checking for a static opCall but fails to diagnose an error when it fails to find one? struct A {} struct B {} A a = B(); // accepted! a = B(); // properly flagged as an error This can lead to the ICE mentioned in the description, if the source type is smaller than the destination, at least for some values of "smaller," *and* the source is a function call. The following, for instance, causes it: struct Small { uint x; } struct Large { uint x, y, z; } Small foo() { return Small(); } void main() { Large l = foo(); } // bang!
