Thanks! And oops. Applied since that was obviously wrong.

Nice that GCC caught that. I am slightly surprised my own GCC6 testing
didn't find this. I am using upstream gcc (GCC) 6.0.0 20160410
(experimental). Did you have to do anything special on your Fedora setup
to make GCC detect this?

Thanks,
