Zig Version
0.13.0
Steps to Reproduce and Observed Output
In the following code, I incorrectly used || instead of or (likely a common beginner mistake).
fn example(x: i32, y: i32) bool {
return
x < y
|| x > y + 10
|| y - x == 5;
}The compiler gives an error about chaining comparison operators, likely because || has a higher precedence than comparison operators.
main.zig:12:24: error: comparison operators cannot be chained
|| pos.col < 0
^
Expected Output
Instead, it would be much more helpful to give an error suggesting the or keyword instead of the || operator. This could be detected by using the fact that || is not defined for anything except for the Error Set Type, meaning that even without the comparison operators, it would not be allowed to compile.
