--- Comment #14 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> --- > Quick temporary fix is easy, just make pragma_kind in cp/parser.h 8 bit, > and change id < 64 to id < 256 in c-family and update the comment. > This I believe shouldn't make the C++ token any larger. > And then incrementally we can improve this by dropping pragma_kind. I have successfully bootstrapped r230151 with the following patch --- ../_clean/gcc/cp/parser.h 2015-11-10 01:54:44.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/parser.h 2015-11-11 12:10:28.000000000 +0100 @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ struct GTY (()) cp_token { /* Token flags. */ unsigned char flags; /* Identifier for the pragma. */ - ENUM_BITFIELD (pragma_kind) pragma_kind : 6; + ENUM_BITFIELD (pragma_kind) pragma_kind : 8; /* True if this token is from a context where it is implicitly extern "C" */ BOOL_BITFIELD implicit_extern_c : 1; /* True if an error has already been reported for this token, such as a --- ../_clean/gcc/c-family/c-pragma.c 2015-11-10 01:54:43.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/c-family/c-pragma.c 2015-11-11 12:10:25.000000000 +0100 @@ -1372,7 +1372,7 @@ c_register_pragma_1 (const char *space, /* The C++ front end allocates 6 bits in cp_token; the C front end allocates 7 bits in c_token.

IMO the comment should include a pointer to "ENUM_BITFIELD (pragma_kind) pragma_kind : n;" when updating the assert to 2**n. It would also be interesting to know how many pragmas can be added before reaching the limit.
