The following invalid code snippet generates a bogus error message since GCC 3.1:
========================== #define foo - ## >> foo; ========================== bug.c:2:1: error: pasting "->" and ">>" does not give a valid preprocessing token bug.c:2: error: expected identifier or '(' before '->' token The problem is that we tried to paste "-" and ">>" and not "->" and ">>". GCC 3.0.x produced a correct diagnostic. -- Summary: [4.0/4.1/4.2 regression] Bad diagnostic pasting tokens with ## Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic, monitored Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: preprocessor AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28709
