This patch attempts to provide better error messages for
code compiled with C23 that hasn't been updated for
"bool", "true", and "false" becoming keywords (based on
a brief review of the Gentoo bug tracker links given at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2024-November/245185.html).
Specifically:
(1) with "typedef int bool;" previously we emitted:
t1.c:7:13: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
7 | typedef int bool;
| ^~~~
t1.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
7 | typedef int bool;
| ^~~~~~~
whereas with this patch we emit:
t1.c:7:13: error: 'bool' cannot be defined via 'typedef'
7 | typedef int bool;
| ^~~~
t1.c:7:13: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
t1.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
7 | typedef int bool;
| ^~~~~~~
(2) with "int bool;" previously we emitted:
t2.c:7:5: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
7 | int bool;
| ^~~~
t2.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
7 | int bool;
| ^~~
whereas with this patch we emit:
t2.c:7:5: error: 'bool' cannot be used here
7 | int bool;
| ^~~~
t2.c:7:5: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
t2.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
7 | int bool;
| ^~~
(3) with "typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;" previously we
emitted:
t3.c:7:16: error: expected identifier before 'false'
7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
| ^~~~~
t3.c:7:38: error: expected ';', identifier or '(' before '_Bool'
7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
| ^~~~~
t3.c:7:38: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
whereas with this patch we emit:
t3.c:7:16: error: cannot use keyword 'false' as enumeration constant
7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
| ^~~~~
t3.c:7:16: note: 'false' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
t3.c:7:38: error: expected ';', identifier or '(' before '_Bool'
7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
| ^~~~~
t3.c:7:38: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
Successfully bootstrapped & regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
OK for trunk?
gcc/c/ChangeLog:
PR c/117629
* c-decl.cc (declspecs_add_type): Special-case attempts to use
bool as a typedef name or declaration name.
* c-errors.cc (add_note_about_new_keyword): New.
* c-parser.cc (report_bad_enum_name): New, split out from...
(c_parser_enum_specifier): ...here, adding handling for RID_FALSE
and RID_TRUE.
* c-tree.h (add_note_about_new_keyword): New decl.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
PR c/117629
* gcc.dg/auto-type-2.c: Update expected output with _Bool.
* gcc.dg/c23-bool-errors-1.c: New test.
* gcc.dg/c23-bool-errors-2.c: New test.
* gcc.dg/c23-bool-errors-3.c: New test.
