            Bug ID: 109681
           Summary: suggested preview switches use DMD
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.1.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: d
          Assignee: ibuclaw at gdcproject dot org
          Reporter: schveiguy at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

When you use features that require preview switches, the messages that inform
you of the need to use the switch are worded using DMD frontend style switches.

For example:

```d
struct S {
   int x : 5;
}
```

Result:
```
<source>:3:14: error: use -preview=bitfields for bitfield support
    3 |     int x : 5;
      |              ^
```

What it should say is:

```
<source>:3:14: error: use -fpreview=bitfields for bitfield support
    3 |     int x : 5;
      |              ^
```

I searched for `-preview=` in the source, and found these instances:
