            Bug ID: 64094
           Summary: "No such file or directory" -> "No such file"
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

Hello

I saw when "main.cpp" is not accessible, the standard ENOENT message "No such
file or directory" is used.

However, this is not really accurate, as it was open() that was used to open a
file. A file was expected, therefore if GCC could output "No such file" the
message would be clearer.  I objdump has this behaviour already:

$ objdump -a main2.exe
objdump: 'main2.exe': No such file
