Issue ID: 21870
Summary: Property/method not invoked and requires () when used
in static array length

Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: diagnostic, rejects-valid
Severity: normal

////////////////////////////// test.d /////////////////////////////
struct S
{
@property size_t count() const
{
return 1;
}
}
int[S.init.count()] x; // OK
int[S.init.count ] y; // error
// Error: need `this` for `count` of type `const @property ulong()`
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Additionally, the error message is misleading. Older versions of compilers
produced a better error:
2.079.0 to 2.087.1: Failure with output: test.d(9): Error: integer constant
expression expected instead of `S().count`
