Bug 13082 – Spurious error message with failed call to class ctor

class Foo { this(int a) {} } void main() { string b; new Foo(b); } dmd 2.066beta gives: test.d(6,5): Error: constructor test.Foo.this (int a) is not callable using argument types (string) test.d(6,5): Error: no constructor for Foo I suggest to omit the second error message. It's better to give only useful error messages and reduce the noise. Reducing the noise is very useful for longer programs that give many error messages.
