           Summary: improve error message with template
           Product: D
           Version: 2.029
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: someanon yahoo.com


the following message is very hard to track down the issue:

dmd/linux/bin/../bin/../../src/phobos/std/stdio.d(511): Error: template
std.format.formattedWrite(Writer,F,A...) does not match any function template
declaration
dmd/linux/bin/../bin/../../src/phobos/std/stdio.d(511): Error: template
std.format.formattedWrite(Writer,F,A...) cannot deduce template function from
argument types !()(LockingTextWriter,int,immutable(char)[])

It's better to also pin-point where is the caller: writefln.

Now try telling the rest of us what you're trying to compile when these
messages appear.

I don't know! The compiler should tell me where is caller is!

That's exactly why I'm logging this bug.

When I upgrade the compiler it suddenly have this error, it's hard to dig into
thousands of lines of my code to find out which writefln is causing the
problem.

What you're asking for is a template instantiation backtrace, making this a
dupe of bug 2510.
