Bug ID: 60862
Summary: bad location in invalid conversion error
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: tromey at gcc dot gnu.org
I'm using the Fedora 20 system gcc:
barimba. gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.2 20131212 (Red Hat 4.8.2-7)
It seems unlikely to me that this bug is caused by Fedora changes.
Consider this source:
extern void **slot(int, void *, int);
void m(int x, int y)
{
int **s = slot (x, &x, y);
}
Compiling yields:
barimba. g++ --syntax-only e.cc
e.cc: In function ‘void m(int, int)’:
e.cc:5:27: error: invalid conversion from ‘void**’ to ‘int**’ [-fpermissive]
int **s = slot (x, &x, y);
^
The location of the error seems quite odd to me.
I think it would be better to report the error at the "=".
