The C++ frontend generates a broken diagnostic for the following code snippet since GCC 3.4.0:
============================================== template<int> void foo(int(*f=0)()); ============================================== bug.cc:1: error: variable or field 'foo' declared void bug.cc:1: error: 'f' was not declared in this scope bug.cc:1: error: '(int)(#'modop_expr' not supported by dump_expr#<expression error>)' cannot be used as a function Another testcase for the unsupported 'modop_expr' is the following: ============================================== template<int> struct A { int i; typeof(A = A()) i; }; ============================================== bug.cc:2: error: expected primary-expression before '=' token bug.cc:2: error: declaration of '__typeof__ (#'modop_expr' not supported by dump_expr#<expression error>) A<<anonymous> >::i' bug.cc:1: error: conflicts with previous declaration 'int A<<anonymous> >::i' -- Summary: [4.1/4.2/4.3 regression] Broken diagnostic: 'modop_expr' not supported by dump_expr Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic, monitored Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ 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=33494
