Description Nathan Ridge

2011-02-05 23:00:07 EST

For the following code:

class S {};
class T {};

struct base
{
    base(S) {}
};

struct derived : public base
{
    derived(T) : base(T) {}  // ERROR HERE
}; 

The error message on the indicated line is:

Symbol 'base' could not be resolved

Wouldn't a more reasonable error message be something like:

No match for call to base::base(T). Candidates are: base::base(S)?

The classification of problem-bindings created by the parser could be improved.
