digitalmars.D - Strange vibe.d build error

reply "H. S. Teoh" <hsteoh quickfur.ath.cx> writes:
After pulling from vibe.d git master today, my vibe.d project doesn't
compile anymore. `dub build` dies with:

	/usr/src/d/vibe.d/stream/vibe/stream/memory.d(56,42): Error: constructor
vibe.utils.array.AllocAppender!(ubyte[], ubyte).AllocAppender.this (IAllocator
alloc, ubyte[] initial_buffer = null) is not callable using argument types
(IAllocator)

No idea where to even start looking, because the error message doesn't
make sense. The ctor is stated to take an IAllocator as first parameter,
and an optional second parameter defaulting to null. So why does calling
the ctor with an instance of IAllocator fail?!

have you tried `dub upgrade && dub build --force` yet and pulled 
potential submodules?

Hmm, that seemed to do the trick. Thanks!

But still, that error message is exceedingly unhelpful.  If possible I'd
love to track it down and file an enhancement to improve the error
message.

You can get that error when using two different symbols with the same 
local name but different fully qualified names. Since the compiler 
doesn't use the fully qualified name in the error message it can be very 
confusing. Although I'm not sure if this was the problem you had.

Most likely, it's because of this: 
https://github.com/vibe-d/vibe.d/pull/1983

If you use dmd nightly you should see a better error message,

There was also a similar PR for vibe-core:

https://github.com/vibe-d/vibe-core/pull/43

I'm pretty sure that either of them is using stdx-allocator and 
the other isn't. The merged PRs might only be tagged/released in 
alphas.

Ah, figures!

I was using dmd git master.
