Function dmd.expression.CommaExp.allow

If the argument is a CommaExp, set a flag to prevent deprecation messages

static extern(C++) void allow (
  Expression exp
);

It's impossible to know from CommaExp.semantic if the result will be used, hence when there is a result (type != void), a deprecation message is always emitted. However, some construct can produce a result but won't use it (ExpStatement and for loop increment). Those should call this function to prevent unwanted deprecations to be emitted.

Parameters

NameDescription
exp An expression that discards its result. If the argument is null or not a CommaExp, nothing happens.
