So what the compiler is saying is that you can't call dup with
arguments (), you must call it with arguments '() immutable',
meaning you must call it on an immutable B, not a mutable B.
Any space for compiler error message improvements here?
+1, spent two hours with a similar problem
+2. I wasted a little time on this too. Not much, but frustratingly
more than necessary.
Why someone would write that error message makes SOME sense when
explained, but the error message itself is still non-sensical ;)
I am writing a D compiler front end, and currently the following message
is displayed for the example:
A.d:22:9: error: receiver for member function 'dup' is unqualified, but
'immutable' is required
f = g.dup;
^~~~~
Is this what you'd want?
