Assertions are turned off in release mode

 A better solution is to make explicit what the D language does implicitly - put an assert there:

int foo(int k, Collection c) { foreach (int x; c) { if (x == k) return x + 1; } assert(0); }

Now, if the foreach does fall through, the error will be detected. Furthermore, it is self-documenting.

However, if assertions are turned off (for a release build) - it's back in "undefined" land again.

Better to add both, like in

assert(0);
return 0;

However, at the moment this is not possible since the return is "not reached" according to DMD ?
