[Bug objc/23709] New: [4.1 Regression] error recovery is not smart enough

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Take the following example:
@interface A
+(void)C:b {}
@end 

@implementation A
+(void)C:b
{
  *b;
}
@end

With 4.1, we get currently get:
t.m:2: error: expected ';' before '{' token
But that means we don't get the error message about dereferencing pointer to 
incomplete type.
With 3.3, we got:
t.m:2: error: parse error before '{' token
t.m: In function `+[A C:]':
t.m:8: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
