digitalmars.D.learn - really strange function errors

Error: function Sprite.size () is not callable using argument types () <-  
wtf?

Error: function Sprite.getPixel (uint x, uint y) is not callable using  
argument types (uint,uint) const

Error: function Sprite.rotation (float angle) is not callable using  
argument types ()
-> even though there is a rotation()!

wtf? we can't diagnose errors w/o context. Show the relative code. -- My enormous talent is exceeded only by my outrageous laziness. http://www.ssTk.co.uk

Ok, this was caused by calling sprite.rotation; on a const Sprite while rotation() wasn't marked as const. The rest is probably similar errors. The error message is really inexpressive though.

Can you write a minimal example? This can be good for bugzilla (I have added there several bad error message errors). Bye, bearophile
