Bug ID: 101033
Summary: Error message for spelling error in copy assignment
operator could be improved
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: hewillk at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Consider the following:
https://godbolt.org/z/vfdTq9j3x
class S {
S& operator=(cont S&);
};
There is a spelling error here, gcc-9 rejects with:
<source>:2:16: error: declaration of 'operator=' as non-function
2 | S& operator=(cont S&);
| ^~~~
The cursor is accurately positioned on the spelling error, but the error
message of gcc-trunk is:
<source>:2:6: error: declaration of 'operator=' as non-function
2 | S& operator=(cont S&);
| ^~~~~~~~
which seems to be a bit distracting, and may increase the cost of debugging.
