Error message when mis-matching different srtucts from c

[0x5247]

Zig Version

0.12.0-dev.409+48e2ba3b3

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Output

Instead of just displaying the name of the type, it shows the whole path.

cVect.h

typedef struct Vector2
{
    int x;
    int y;
} Vector2;

typedef struct Vector2f
{
    float x;
    float y;
} Vector2f;

main.zig

const c = @cImport({
    @cInclude("cVect.h");
});

pub fn main() void {
    const foo: c.Vector2 = c.Vector2f{
        .x = 400,
        .y = 400,
    };
    _ = foo;
}

This is the error message I'm getting.

error: expected type 'C:.AAA.temp.zig-cache.o.84418c0ec09dd5fa20a25264f03a22fe.cimport.struct_Vector2',
found 'C:.AAA.temp.zig-cache.o.84418c0ec09dd5fa20a25264f03a22fe.cimport.struct_Vector2f'

Expected Output

To be honest that information is a bit useful but I think it would be better if it only shows the name of the type.

error: expected type Vector2, found Vector2f

Just for completeness, how are you compiling main.zig? zig build-exe or zig build?

EDIT: Can't reproduce with 0.12.0-dev.1150+3c22cecee2 when using zig build-exe:

> zig build-exe main.zig -lc -I.

    const foo: c.Vector2 = c.Vector2f{

nor with zig build:

build.zig

const std = @import("std");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
    const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

    const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
        .name = "17760",
        .root_source_file = .{ .path = "main.zig" },
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });
    exe.linkLibC();
    exe.addIncludePath(.{ .path = "." });

    b.installArtifact(exe);
}

I used zig build run command. This is the whole error message

I think it's fixed in the newer version. I'll try installing the latest one
