What did you do?
./v -g -o vdbg cmd/v && ./vdbg main.v && main

$dbg;

fn main() {
}

What did you see?

================== C compilation error (from tcc): ==============
cc: /tmp/v_1000/main.01KWX5Z3YJP3CPNTETTR4DQY9F.tmp.c:9734: error: declaration expected
=================================================================
Try passing `-g` when compiling, to see a .v file:line information, that correlates more with the C error.
(Alternatively, pass `-show-c-output`, to print the full C error message).
builder error: 
==================
C error found. It should never happen, when compiling pure V code.
This is a V compiler bug, please report it using `v bug file.v`,
