digitalmars.D.learn - simple idea for error messages
- Laeeth Isharc (24/24) May 01 2016 when it cannot match a prototype eg:
when it cannot match a prototype eg: module foo; enum Foo { foo } void bar(Foo foo) { } module bar; enum Foo { foo } void fooBar(Foo foo) { bar(foo); } rather than complain the type X does not match the type X - an unhelpful message - could the compiler not check to see if the type descriptions are identical, and if so print a clarifying message about which modules they come from. it's easy the second time, but another source of friction in learning the language in the beginning.
