Bug 707 – incorrect error lines for failed aliases

http://dstress.kuehne.cn/nocompile/a/alias_34_B.d # # Foofunc f; // line A # alias int function(Foo) Foofunc; // line B # DMD complains about line A but fails to mention the cause in line B. http://dstress.kuehne.cn/nocompile/alias_17.d # # void test() {} # # int _test; // line C # alias _test test; // line D # # void check(){ # test = 1; // line E # } DMD complains about lines C and E but fails to mention the cause in line D. http://dstress.kuehne.cn/nocompile/a/alias_36_E.d # # template bar(T) { # void foo() { # } # } # # alias bar!(long).foo foo; // line F # alias bar!(char).foo foo; // line G # # void main() { # foo(); // line H # } # DMD complains about line H but fails to mention the cause in lines G and F.

The first example seems to work properly now on 1.065 and 2.050, but not the other two.

This now give satisfactory error messages. The second case repeats the "x is aliased to a function" a few times, but nothing worth spending time on. Marking as "WONTFIX" so it doesn't show up in the changelog.

FYI only errors mentioned in git commit messages will show up in the changelog.
