It’s a old problem that Visual D cannot distinguish between overloads, this causes Visual D to jump to the wrong overload. This is quite a major defect. So when would you implement this, @rainers?

Please implement this, thanks a lot.

I'm not sure it is properly solvable with the current semantic engine.

I hope I can add an experimental version of a dmd frontend based engine to the next major release of Visual D. This will yield good (semantic) error messages and browsing (on compiling code) including correct overload detection, but will probably have quite a few other quirks in its first version.

By the way, when will the next major release arrive?

First beta might still be a couple of weeks away.
