struct Foo
{
int _val;
@property int val()() { return _val; }
int get() { return val; } // fail
}
void main()
{
Foo bar;
auto x = bar.val; // ok
}
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (val()) of type void to int
Note how I can call the property function without errors from outside Foo's methods, however from inside its methods I can't.
The *real* issue here is that I can't overload templated and non-templated functions. In my own code I have a templated setter and want to use a non-templated getter. However that can't work right now due to bugs, so I'm forced to make the getter a template by adding an empty set of parens.
But as you can see, this introduces yet another new bug. :/
