Bug #: 54164
Summary: C++11: confusion error messages for spurious
"typename"
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: akim.demai...@gmail.com
Hi all,
The error message on the following input is really confusing, as G++ seems to
complain about the left-hand side of the declaration. And then its error
recovery triggers another error pretending we should be in a namespace.
$ cat foo.cc
struct base
{};
struct derived
{
using type = typename base;
};
$ g++-mp-4.8 -std=c++11 -Wall foo.cc
foo.cc:6:9: error: expected nested-name-specifier before 'type'
using type = typename base;
^
foo.cc:6:9: error: using-declaration for non-member at class scope
foo.cc:6:14: error: expected ';' before '=' token
using type = typename base;
^
foo.cc:6:14: error: expected unqualified-id before '=' token
$ g++-mp-4.8 --version
