Bug ID: 62202
Summary: g++ does not accept typedef-name after struct even if
-fpermissive is used
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: [email protected]
gcc silently compiles this, even with -Wall -Wextra -pedantic:
struct test_s { int n; };
typedef struct test_s test_t;
typedef struct test_t* something_t;
int main() { return 0; }
g++ reports following error even if -fpermissive option is used:
test.c:3:16: error: using typedef-name ‘test_t’ after ‘struct’
typedef struct test_t* something_t;
^
test.c:2:23: note: ‘test_t’ has a previous declaration here
typedef struct test_s test_t;
^
test.c:3:35: error: invalid type in declaration before ‘;’ token
typedef struct test_t* something_t;
^
Please extend permissive mode to accept such case too. Also consider printing
warning when compiling C code.
