           Summary: Invalid cv qualifier for non-member function error
                    could be better
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: wendling at apple.com
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu, dgregor at apple.com


This code:

$ cat a.cpp
struct Foo {
  unsigned F(unsigned a, unsigned b) const;
};

unsigned F(unsigned a, unsigned b) const {
  return a + b * 37 - 927;
}

Produces this error message with clang++:

a.cpp:5:10: error: type qualifier is not allowed on this function
unsigned F(unsigned a, unsigned b) const {
         ^
1 error generated.

It doesn't explain why the qualifier isn't correct. By contrast, g++ does
better:

a.cpp:5: error: non-member function ‘unsigned int F(unsigned int, unsigned
int)’ cannot have cv-qualifier

It mentions that it's a non-member function.
