Getting a bunch of strange errors, anybody got an inkling what the cause might be?


Error: function Sprite.size () is not callable using argument types () <- wtf?

Error: function Sprite.getPixel (uint x, uint y) is not callable using argument types (uint,uint) const

Error: function Sprite.rotation (float angle) is not callable using argument types ()
-> even though there is a rotation()!

wtf? we can't diagnose errors w/o context.
Show the relative code.

Ok, this was caused by calling sprite.rotation; on a const Sprite while rotation() wasn't marked as const.
The rest is probably similar errors.

The error message is really inexpressive though.

Can you write a minimal example? This can be good for bugzilla (I have added there several bad error message errors).
