Function dmd.dcast.specialNoreturnCast
A helper function to "cast" from expressions of type noreturn to
any other type - noreturn is implicitly convertible to any other type.
However, the dmd backend does not like a naive cast from a noreturn expression
(particularly an assert(0)
) so this function generates:
(assert(0), value)
instead of cast(to)(assert(0))
.
value
is currently to
however it cannot be read so could be made simpler.
Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
toBeCasted | Expression of type noreturn to cast |
to | Type to cast the expression to. |
Returns
A CommaExp, upon any failure ErrorExp will be returned.
