The checking must be $if field.typ is int { instead.

It is not exactly an error, it is as the comptime stuff works. To avoid such error you have to prevent the assignment being generated to the wrong type, once it is traversing all fields of the struct with different types.

Maybe should we add some warning? notice? What do you think @medvednikov @spytheman

It is an error in that you don't see any problems until the C compiler throws an error. V should always catch things that that (if it can), before it ever gets to the C compiler.

Think of it this way... if V can't catch it, what is the native backend supposed to do? Generate code that fails at runtime?

It would be nice to optimize the prompt copy.
