Given the program
typedef enum { ZERO }; // error, malformed typedef, missing identifier
typedef struct dummy {}; // ditto
gcc will silently step over and apparently ignore the typedef, treating the
statement as a simple "enum { ZERO };" rather than a "typedef enum { ZERO }
type_name;" where type_name has been accidentally omitted.
Grammatically, perhaps correct. However, a warning or error message here would
be handy.
