[Bug c++/13717] New: duplicated parameter name not caught ?

[d dot binderman at virgin dot net]

The one liner

void f( int fred, char * fred);

is IMHO illegal code because fred is the name of two parameters.

I couldn't get gcc332 to find the bug in this code.
This is salted down from real code in Fedora Core 1.

If you give the parameters the same type, then the C front end has
acquired such a bug as well in 3.4/3.5.  Neither

void f (int fred, int fred);

nor

void f (int fred, int fred) {}

now give a diagnostic for C.  I guess Zack's patches are the most likely
cause, or at least the subsequent ones the most likely fix.

(Sent to gcc-bugs rather than gcc-bugzilla because this is a separate bug.  
Shall I open a new PR for this regression or will this be fixed shortly
(with the above testcases included) in a subsequent stage of the c-decl.c
cleanup patches?)

It was the most recent patch which broke this as it failed still on 
2004-01-01.

I would open just to make sure that it gets fixed.

Thanks,

Yes, it invalid in C++.  This bug should be easier to fix in
GCC-3.4.x/g++ than GCC-3.3.x/g++.

Confirmed with mainline/3.4 branch. C frontend properly rejects this, so this is
not a duplicate of PR13728.

As mentioned in PR 17786 by Nathan: 
 
correct. there is a related bug in that we fail to compile things like 
 
void foo (int x, int ary[sizeof(x)]);
