To summarize, in current 4.6 and mainline at least, a C++0x warning is emitted
in C++03 mode and then both snippets are simply accepted. Errors are then
produced at instantiation time. Indeed, cp_parser_simple_type_specifier does
just:
case RID_AUTO:
maybe_warn_cpp0x (CPP0X_AUTO);
type = make_auto ();
break;
thus, by design, no chances for hard errors at parsing time. Jason, do we want
to improve this?
