[Bug c++/28015] New: Nonspecific error messages

[philippe at fornux dot com]

Greetings:

I am trying to compile an application and I am getting error massages like the
following one.  Obviously the "previous definition" doesn't point to the first
definition of "struct timespec" but to the redundant definition.  This is
therefore pretty useless:

/usr/include/time.h:119: error: redefinition of `struct timespec'
/usr/include/time.h:119: error: previous definition of `struct timespec'



Phil

I cannot reproduce this with a simple:
struct timespec {};
#include <time.h>

I was compiling a big project and I ended up with this error message.  I just
tried to compile the same file by preprocessing it first (-E) and I don't have
the error anymore.

Actually I think some dependent file got included twice.  That will explain the
error messages refering to the same locations; therefore it not a compiler
problem but some improper "#ifndef" preprocessor handling in the header files
on my Redhat system.

I will investigate and let you know if I come up with something.


Bests,
Phil
