Bug 6981 – incorrect error message when calling method without parentheses

class Document { const override hash_t toHash() { return super.toHash; } } Error: function object.Object.toHash () is not callable using argument types () If you change it into 'return super.toHash();' then it prints Error: function object.Object.toHash () is not callable using argument types () const OT: I really wish that horrible error message would be turned into something more easily understandable like 'function can't be called on a const instance' or whatever.

Actually I think it shouldn't even get to that point. Shouldn't it complain about toHash not overriding a base method? The above error message isn't helpful at all, especially if the const isn't applied to the function directly but through a 'const: /*many functions*/'.

Now it's: Error: not a property super.toHash After adding parens: Error: function object.Object.toHash () is not callable using argument types () const After Issue 1730 is fixed the error message will improve. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 1730 ***
