This C++ test case works with gcc 4.1.1. With gcc 4.2 and with mainline it
gets an inexplicable error.
typedef void v;
typedef v (*pf)(v);
foo.cc:2: error: ‘<anonymous>’ has incomplete type
foo.cc:2: error: invalid use of ‘v’

Thanks for the explanation. That is new to me.
I am now going to reopen this bug because the error message is terrible. There
is no anonymous or incomplete type here. gcc should perhaps print something
like
error: invalid use of typedef 'v' in function parameter declaration

The error message makes perfect sense: void is an incomplete type and the
formal parameter has no name.

The error message makes some sense if you already understand the issue. If you
do not know what the problem is, then I believe it is completely obscure. This
is particularly so since the same code is valid C code.

Haha. And I keep telling people to
"Stop programming in C. [Period.] Learn C++."
(ok, that's perhaps too extreme)

Well, I believe the parameter is unnamed, and its type is incomplete.

That is also obscure :-)
Maybe you want
error: invalid use of typedef-name for type 'void' in a function
parameter declaration
note: 'void' can be used as a function parameter only if it appears
lexically as a keyword
?
