[Bug c++/15943] New: Garbled message for invalid pointer to member conversions

[bangerth at dealii dot org]

Here's a piece of invalid code: 
-------------- 
struct a { 
    int x[8]; 
}; 
 
int main () { 
  int a::*n[8]; 
  n = &a::x; 
} 
-------------- 
The guy wrote this accidently allocated an array of 8 pointer-to-int-member, 
rather than a pointer-to-int[8]-member. The error message is garbled, though: 
 
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.5-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc 
x.cc: In function `int main()': 
x.cc:8: error: incompatible types in assignment of `int a::*)[8]' to `int 
a::*[8]' 
 
Note that the first given type has only a single dangling parenthesis. This 
bug dates back to at least 2.95.
