Zig Version

0.14.0-dev.2126+e27b4647d

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

The compiler doesn't report an error message here and these 3 tests all pass.

const std = @import("std");

test {
    const S = struct { a: u8 };
    const s: S = try .{ .a = 0 }; // try makes no sense here
    try std.testing.expectEqual(0, s.a);
}

I originally noticed this while refactoring some code and forgot to remove try from a switch statement, similar to these

test {
    const S = struct { a: u8 };
    const s: S = switch (0) {
        0 => try .{ .a = 0 }, // try makes no sense here
        else => unreachable,
    };
    try std.testing.expectEqual(0, s.a);
}

test {
    const S = struct { a: u8 };
    const s: S = if (true)
        try .{ .a = 0 } // try makes no sense here
    else
        unreachable;

    try std.testing.expectEqual(0, s.a);
}

Expected Behavior

I would expect an error message like this:

test {
    const S = struct { a: u8 };
    const s = try S{ .a = 0 };
    try std.testing.expectEqual(0, s.a);
}
$ zig test /tmp/tmp.zig
/tmp/tmp.zig:5:23: error: expected error union type, found 'tmp.test_0.S'
    const s: S = try S{ .a = 0 };
                     ~^~~~~~~~~~
/tmp/tmp.zig:4:15: note: struct declared here
    const S = struct { a: u8 };
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
