g++ error message: 'non-class type'

Andreas Bernauer's personal blog

Who's designing the error messages of g++? Anyways, here is a translation:

error: request for member ‘foo’ in ‘((Test*)this)->Test::_bar’, 
which is of non-class type ‘C_bar*’

means: in class Test, you've written _bar.foo, but _bar is a pointer; you need to write _bar->foo, that is, change the dot to an arrow.

Happy C++ coding!

Sometimes it is as easy as eating, but nevertheless I think I need a dictonary to understand such error messages
