--- Comment #6 from Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-05-26 18:25:40 UTC --- (In reply to comment #4) > + error ("expected an expression"); That sounds like a parse error, when the real issue is a semantic constraint violation: it would make perfect sense to write auto(1) except that 7.1.6.4 says we can't.
