Hi! The copy attributes is allowed on decls as well as types and even has checks whether decl (set to *node) is DECL_P or TYPE_P, but for diagnostics unconditionally uses DECL_SOURCE_LOCATION (decl), which obviously only works if it applies to a decl.
The following patch fixes that, bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2024-01-09 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c/113262 * c-attribs.cc (handle_copy_attribute): Don't use DECL_SOURCE_LOCATION (decl) if decl is not DECL_P, use input_location instead.
