           Summary: Don't allow "auto" as the simple-type-specifier of a
                    typedef
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: schaub-johannes@web.de


The following is ill-formed, but GCC allows it

  typedef auto autot;

And it seems GCC itself can't handle it

  autot t = 0; // variable has incomplete type!?

Neither does the Standard specify how it should be handled (it only talks about
auto type specifiers, as opposed to "auto" being the type designated
semantically. There is no semantic equivalent for "auto" it seems). In Standard
C++, something like "autot t = 0;" can't occur, I think.
