 - Compiler assert when using generic parameters list without any parameters. #2369
 - Parsing difference between "0x00." and "0X00." literals #2371
 - Fixed bug generating `$c += 1` when `$c` was derived from a pointer but behind a cast.
+- Compiler segfault when using bitwise not on number literal cast to bitstruct #2373.
