Bug #: 53924
Summary: unhelpful diagnostic in invalid declaration list
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: ste...@gcc.gnu.org
The C front end gives a really unhelpful error message for the most trivial
mistakes. This is one example:
$ cat t.c
typedef void *tree;
tree klass, tree cdecl, class_array_type;
$ ./cc1 -quiet t.c
t.c:2:18: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before
'cdecl'
tree klass, tree cdecl, class_array_type;
^
$
The parser should be able to recover from this error more gracefully.
