The example code:
int foo(int);
int foo(int, int);
void main() {
foo();
}
Now gives:
temp.d(4,8): Error: function temp.foo (int) is not callable using argument
types (), candidates are:
temp.d(1,5): temp.foo(int)
temp.d(2,5): temp.foo(int, int)
What's the point of writing "function temp.foo (int)"? If there are overloads
and none of them is fitting for the given arguments in the call, then I think
it's not useful to show one of the overloads there. So I think a better error
message is:
temp.d(4,8): Error: overloaded function temp.foo is not callable using argument
types (), candidates are:
temp.d(1,5): temp.foo(int)
temp.d(2,5): temp.foo(int, int)
But the current situation is acceptable, and it's much better than before, so
this doesn't matter much.
