[Bug c++/20665] New: poor diagnostic

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

In:

template<typename T> class foo {}
enum A{b, c};


gets you:

~/ootbc/members/bin$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc:2: error: template declaration of `enum A'
foo.cc:2: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

The actual error is a missing semicolon.

On the mainline I get:
t.cc:1: error: template declaration of 'enum'
t.cc:2: error: multiple types in one declaration

There might be a dup of this bug somewhere.

Yes, there are multiple PRs in the database about diagnostics when people 
forget the semicolon at the end of a struct or class declaration. There are 
also examples in these PRs that show why this case is so hard for the  
parser to handle gracefully.
