Bug ID: 68265
Summary: Arbitrary syntactic nonsense silently accepted after
'int (*){}' until the next close brace
Product: gcc
Version: 5.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: accepts-invalid
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: zackw at panix dot com
Target Milestone: ---
(From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33614455/ :)
The C++ compiler fails to diagnose ill-formed constructs such as
int main()
{
int (*) {}
any amount of syntactic nonsense
on multiple lines, with *punctuation* and ++operators++ even...
will be silently discarded
until the next close brace
}
With -pedantic -std=c++98 you do get "warning: extended initializer lists only
available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11", but with -std=c++11, not a peep.
If any one (or more) of the tokens 'int ( * ) { }' are removed, you do get an
error. Also, the C compiler does not have the same bug.
