Bug ID: 122499
Summary: misspelt procedure in import list causes a sequence of
clutted errors
Product: gcc
Version: 16.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: modula2
Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Another candidate for spell hints. The mistake in the import list causes 4
extra error messages which don't add anything useful. Just having the first
error message (with a spelling hint) would be a significant improvement.
