Bug ID: 61977
Summary: powerpc-eabi preprocessor breaks on lines that end
with "vector"
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: drivshin at allworx dot com

patch to revert 210055 and 211656
The powerpc-eabi (and powerpc-eabispe -mno-spe; I haven't tried other
powerpc-*) preprocessor misbehaves when a line ends with "vector". I happened
to hit this in assembler comments, but that does not appear to be a
requirement.
Examples of lines which cause the failure:
vector
# vector
# x vector
x # vector
; vector
# .vector
# +vector
Examples of lines which do not cause the failure:
# vectors
# vector x
# vector.
# _vector
// vector (unless -C is given)
vector;
The symptom depends on whether that is the last non-whitespace line in the
file. If it is, then the result is an ICE. If it is not, then just "vector"
appears by itself on the next line.
This did not happen on GCC 4.9.0, but does happen in GCC 4.9.1 and the current
trunk. Bisecting between 4.9.0 and 4.9.1 points to SVN revision 210055 as
introducing this behavior. Reverting r210055 (and also r211656 which seemed to
be dependant upon r210055) appears to fix the issue, and a patch (against
4.9.1) doing that is attached.
