        <pre>As of r186208 clang gives a better diagnostic.

For the original example, which had another error lurking undetected with it:

$ cat x.cpp
class A {
public:
  const char *str();
};

int foo(A &x)
{
  return x.str.();
}

$ ./bin/clang++ -fsyntax-only x.cpp 
x.cpp:8:15: error: unexpected '.' in function call; perhaps remove the '.'?
  return x.str.();
         ~~~~~^
x.cpp:8:10: error: cannot initialize return object of type 'int' with an rvalue
of type
      'const char *'
  return x.str.();
         ^~~~~~~~
