[Bug c++/18368] New: C++ error message regression

["sabre at nondot dot org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

On this c++ code:

struct C {
  struct foo { int A; }
  void method();
};

G++ 3.4 and above print the useless error message:

t.cpp:3: error: new types may not be defined in a return type
t.cpp:3: error: two or more data types in declaration of `method'

G++ 3.3 prints something like this (which is actually useful):

t.cpp:2: error: semicolon missing after declaration of `foo'
t.cpp:2: error: ISO C++ forbids defining types within return type
t.cpp:2: error: two or more data types in declaration of `method'
t.cpp:2: error: semicolon missing after declaration of `struct foo'

This probably also happens at global scope.
