--- Comment #1 from David Malcolm <dmalcolm at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Similarly, in :
int i
int j;
as of gcc 8 we now print:
q.c:1:6: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘int’
int i
^
;
int j;

and I agree, presumably we should print either just:
q.c:1:6: error: expected ‘;’ after ‘i’
int i
^
or:
q.c:1:6: error: expected ‘;’ after ‘i’
int i
~^
