           Summary: Improved error message for failed access of array
                    field properties from static method
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



Spinoff of issue 9630


This program:

struct Foo {
    int i[1];
    static void bar() {
        assert(0 < i[0].max);
    }
}


Currently gives:

temp.d(4): Error: need 'this' for i type int[1u].


Andrej Mitrovic suggests:

 This is already a bad message. 'i' should be quoted and the wording should be
 improved:
 temp.d(4): Error: need 'this' for 'i' of type int[1u]


Is it possible to generate an error message like this, that suggests how to fix
the problem?

temp.d(4): Error: need 'this' for 'i' of type int[1u]. Use typeof(i[0]).max
instead

This could end up being arbitrarily hard to implement, so I'll just improve the
wording of the error message like I've mentioned.

If you think it's too much hard to implement, then I close this down. I use
WONTFIX then.

Open it up as a new enhancement for later, I might look into it when I have the
time. Let this one be fixed since a fix was implemented.
