This is a D2 program:


struct Foo {
    this(int x=0) {}
    static void opCall(int x, int y) {}
}
void main() {
    auto f2 = Foo(1);    // line 6, OK
    auto f3 = Foo(1, 2); // line 7, Err, opCall not found
    auto f1 = Foo();     // line 8, Err, conflicts with opCall again
}


dmd 2.042 gives:

test.d(7): Error: constructor test.Foo.this (int x = 0) is not callable using
argument types (int,int)
test.d(7): Error: expected 1 arguments, not 2 for non-variadic function type
ref Foo(int x = 0)
test.d(8): Error: function test.Foo.opCall (int x, int y) is not callable using
argument types ()
test.d(8): Error: expected 2 function arguments, not 0
test.d(8): Error: variable test.main.f1 voids have no value
test.d(8): Error: expression opCall() is void and has no value


My suggestion is in structs to disallow opCall() if a this() is present.
This makes the program more tidy, and avoids that conflict with opCall when
Foo() is used with no arguments.

An important addition to the suggestion: *static* opCall is the real problem here. There should be no problem between an instance opCall and a constructor.

This (modified) example from Tom shows problems with not static opCall too:


struct Foo {
    int i;
    this(int i) { this.i = i; }
    void opCall(int x, int y) {}
}
void main() {
    Foo foo;
    foo(1, 2);
}

Probably the same as issue 1840.
