           Summary: Better error message upon finding a @property in the
                    instance variable list
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: objc
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: nic...@gcc.gnu.org


The following error is probably fairly common --

/* Contributed by Nicola Pero <nicola.p...@meta-innovation.com>, December 2010.
 */
/* { dg-do compile } */

@interface A
{
  @property int x;
}
@end

it would be nice to print a nice, friendly error message (to be defined, but
something explaining that @property should go with the methods, not instance
variables).  At the moment we print

testcase.m:6:3: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘property’

which doesn't tell an unexperienced user anything other than there is a syntax
error in the code. ;-)

Thanks
