Bug ID: 64094
Summary: "No such file or directory" -> "No such file"
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: pending
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: jg at jguk dot org
Hello
I saw when "main.cpp" is not accessible, the standard ENOENT message "No such
file or directory" is used.
However, this is not really accurate, as it was open() that was used to open a
file. A file was expected, therefore if GCC could output "No such file" the
message would be clearer. I objdump has this behaviour already:
$ objdump -a main2.exe
objdump: 'main2.exe': No such file
$ gcc --version
