It is not that easy. The function that emits the error seems to be used for
several things. However, at the point that the error is issued, I don't see any
way to detect what we are actually doing.
What do you think about this message? Will it work for any situation?
error: C::bar of type int (C::)() does not match expected type int (*)()
The patch would be something like:
- error ("argument of type %qT does not match %qT", TREE_TYPE (rhs), lhstype);
+ error ("%qE of type %qT does not match expected type %qT", rhs,
TREE_TYPE(rhs), lhstype)
Andrew? Gabriel? Ian?
I can implement it and test it if you agree.
