The following invalid code snippet causes an ICE on mainline:
===============================
namespace N
{
struct A;
}
template<int> struct N::A {};
===============================
bug.cc:6: error: 'template<int <anonymous> > struct N::A' redeclared as
different kind of symbol
bug.cc:3: error: previous declaration of 'struct N::A'
bug.cc:6: internal compiler error: tree check: expected class 'type', have
'exceptional' (error_mark) in cp_parser_class_specifier, at cp/parser.c:12298
Please submit a full bug report, [etc.]
The regression was introduced here:
: Search converges between 2004-02-01-trunk (#445) and 2004-03-01-trunk (#446).
Looks like we don't handle cp_parser_class_head returning error_mark_node
in cp_parser_class_specifier.
Should we always return NULL_TREE if cp_parser_class_head fails?
Or should we check for error_mark_node in cp_parser_class_specifier
as well? (Since both cases will probably handled in the same code path,
the former makes more sense to me.)
