The following invalid code snippet is accepted by mainline: ================================== struct A; struct B { ~A(); }; ==================================
Mark, this was caused by your patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2004-06/msg00888.html This patch not only removed the error message error ("destructor `%T' must match class name `%T'", name, rename); for destructors from grokdeclarator, but also error ("destructors must be member functions"); A testcase that used to trigger the second error message but is now accepted is the following: ================================== struct A; void ~A(); ================================== -- Summary: [4.0 regression] Invalid destructor declarations accepted Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: accepts-invalid, monitored Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,mark at codesourcery dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19732
