Bug ID: 115516 Summary: constexpr use before C23 could give a better error message Product: gcc Version: 15.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Take: ``` constexpr int j = 1; ``` Currently we give: ``` <source>:1:10: error: expected ';' before 'int' 1 | constexpr int j = 1; | ^~~~ | ; ``` This could give a better error message just like the C++ front-end does for C++98: ``` <source>:1:1: error: 'constexpr' does not name a type 1 | constexpr int j = 1; | ^~~~~~~~~ <source>:1:1: note: C++11 'constexpr' only available with '-std=c++11' or '-std=gnu++11' ```
