void main() { float f = 1.f; } $ dmd test.d test.d(3): Error: undefined identifier 'f' This should be catched in the parser with a proper error message.

No? This is UFCS at work. It's trying to apply a function f to the integer literal 1.

Ah didn't think of UFCS! The error message could still be more helpful I guess.

But what else would it be? It's complaining about exactly what you're doing - using an undefined indentifier. It even tells you exactly what the undefined identifier is.

Don't know. Maybe it could mention it's trying UFC. Whatever.

Now prints testx.d(4): Error: no property 'f' for type 'int' so I guess we're done.
