Bug ID: 96518
Summary: g++ suggests a weird function when there's a lowercase
mistake
Product: gcc
Version: 10.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: albert.astals.cid at kdab dot com
Target Milestone: ---
With the code
class Foo {
public:
void SetParent(Foo *f)
{
parent = f;
}
Foo *GetParent()
{
return parent;
}
Foo *parent = nullptr;
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Foo f;
Foo f2;
Foo *f3 = f.getParent();
}
g++ tells me
main.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
main.cpp:21:17: error: ‘class Foo’ has no member named ‘getParent’; did you
mean ‘SetParent’?
21 | Foo *f3 = f.getParent();
| ^~~~~~~~~
| SetParent
I find it weird that it recommends SetParent instead of GetParent given that
GetParent is closer lexycographically (and that one actually returns a Foo *
and the other doesn't)
