Messages > Unexpected method (also might be ...

The message:

Unexpected method (also might be member-function, which returns a value)

appears, if an instruction begins with an identifier followed by a dot and then followed by a symbol, which does not denote a method. E.g.

s.unknown

This message can result from a wrong chaining of methods. E.g. clear is, a method without return value. Therefore you can't append a second method call on clear.

s.clear().clear();

This message also appears, if you tried to call a member-function, which returns a value; e.g. for the string s:

s.length();

The following would be correct:

int i = s.length();

In the syntax of c++, this is correct. But the instruction makes no sense, because the returned value is not used. So here an error message appears.
