Issue ID: 21466
Summary: Calling an enum value result in confusing error
message "No property X for type Y"
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: minor
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Reduced case:
```
enum Foo
{
a,
b,
}
void main ()
{
auto z = Foo.a(STC.b);
}
```
Gives:
```
parseme.d(9): Error: no property a for type int
```
This is quite confusing, as the error message doesn't actually tell what's
wrong (a is not callable).
This is reduced from a bigger error, where the actual code used a ternary and
was missing a bitwise OR (`|`), causing the line to be interpreted as a call.
