When compiling the following program:
struct S {int z;};
typedef S* (*FuncType)(int,int);
int x,y;
S* a() {
FuncType(a)(x,y)->z = 0; // treated as declaration
return 0;
}
This is the result:
t.cpp: In function 'S* a()':
t.cpp:5: error: initializer expression list treated as compound expression
t.cpp:5: error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'S* (*)(int, int)'
t.cpp:5: error: expected ',' or ';' before '->' token
Shouldn't GCC examine '->' after 'FuncType(a)(x,y)' and conclude that the
statement is an expression instead of a declaration ?
