           Summary: Spurious "if"clause of template function shown in error
                    message
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

(Thanks CLXX for submitting this to the newsgroup.)

void fun(T)(T t) if (is(T == string)) {}
void fun(T)(T t) if (is(T == int)) {}

void main( ){
    fun(1.0);
}

yields the errors:

./test.d(5): template test.fun(T) if (is(T == string)) does not match any
function template declaration
./test.d(5): template test.fun(T) if (is(T == string)) cannot deduce template
function from argument types !()(double)

The if (...) clause is superfluous as the compiler seems to print there
whatever fun overload was first in the module. The correct error message is:

./test.d(5): template test.fun(T) does not match any function template
declaration
./test.d(5): template test.fun(T) cannot deduce template function from argument
type !()(double)

Notice the grammar fix too :o).
