The first two errors are correct, the function declaration is complete garbage
and these errors correctly identify some of the problems.

Whether it *also* notices another error in this garbage doesn't really matter.
You need to fix this nonsense before the code can be compiled anyway.

The general rule of thumb is always to start by fixing the first errors,
because they might be causing the later ones. If you fix those two errors, then
G++ will  tell you about the next problem.

It's not really helpful to keep pointing out that if you randomly generate
complete garbage then GCC gets confused.
