           Summary: Error message not using fully qualified name when
                    appropriate.
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: deadalnix gmail.com



I'm doing some refactoring in SDC. Doing so, I'm moving this to use a new
implementation of Location. I get often message like :

Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (e.location) of type Location to
Location

The error message is about me using the new Location when the old is expected
or the other way around. But the message itself is kind of cryptic.

DMD should use the fully qualified name in error message when the regular name
isn't enough.

I suggest to add here a minimal complete program example. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Test case:

template T1()
{
    struct F { }
}

template T2()
{
    struct F { }
}

void main()
{
    T2!().F x = T1!().F();
}

 Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (F()) of type F to F

Here's another example:

test.d:

-----
module test;

import foo;

struct S { }

void main()
{
    test(S());
}
-----

-----
module foo;

struct S { }

void test(S s) { }
-----

test.d(9): Error: function foo.test (S s) is not callable using argument types
(S)

There used to be another error message here which would say "Cannot implicitly
convert type S to S", and *that* error message is the one that should really be
fixed, however Walter removed the message. I think it will eventually come back
though.
