Modified from code by David in D.learn. This is wrong code:


struct Foo {
    static Foo opDispatch(string s)() const {
        return Foo();
    }
}
void main() {
    Foo f = Foo.bar();
}



DMD 2.064alpha gives:

test.d(7): Error: no property 'bar' for type 'Foo'
test.d(7): Error: Foo is not an expression


The error messages don't help much because they don't explain what's the
problem. The code able to compile is without "const":


struct Foo {
    static Foo opDispatch(string s)() {
        return Foo();
    }
}
void main() {
    Foo f = Foo.bar();
}
