[This patch assumes the two patches here:
 https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-10/msg00274.html ]

c_parser_declaration_or_fndef has logic for parsing what might be
either a declaration or a function definition.

This patch adds a test to detect cases where a semicolon would have
terminated the decls as a declaration, where the token that follows
would start a new declaration specifier, and updates the error message
accordingly, with a fix-it hint.

This addresses PR c/7356, fixing the case of a stray token before a
#include which previously gave inscrutable output, and improving e.g.:

  int i
  int j;

from:

  t.c:2:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'int'
   int j;
   ^~~

to:

  t.c:1:6: error: expected ';' before 'int'
   int i
        ^
        ;
   int j;
   ~~~

The patch also adds a test for PR c/44515 as a baseline.

gcc.dg/noncompile/920923-1.c needs a slight update, as the output for
the first line changes from:

  920923-1.c:2:14: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
  '__attribute__' before 'unsigned'
   typedef BYTE unsigned char; /* { dg-error "expected" } */
                ^~~~~~~~

to:
  920923-1.c:2:13: error: expected ';' before 'unsigned'
   typedef BYTE unsigned char; /* { dg-error "expected" } */
               ^~~~~~~~~
               ;
  920923-1.c:2:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
   typedef BYTE unsigned char; /* { dg-error "expected" } */
   ^~~~~~~

Successfully bootstrapped & regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
OK for trunk?

Thanks
Dave

I see the patch directly referenced in that message on the trunk.  But
I'm not sure what you mean by "two patches".  If there's a prereq that
hasn't been approved, let me know.

Personally I find the current error easier to digest.  It quite clearly
tells me to look before the current token and shove in an appropriate
thingie :-)   The extra vertical space, to me, makes the error message
harder to parse.

But I can see how others would prefer to see the point where the
punctuation was missing.  So I won't let my biases get in the way here.

Sorry about the confusion; the one at the URL above was:

"[PATCH 2/2] C/C++: add fix-it hints for various missing symbols (v3)",

which is an updated version of:

"[PATCH 2/2] C/C++: add fix-it hints for various missing symbols (v2)"
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-09/msg01746.html

the other one I was referring to was:

"[PATCH 1/2] C++: avoid partial duplicate implementation of
cp_parser_error"
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-09/msg01745.html


Both these prereqs are in trunk (as r253686 and r253690 respectively).

You've been using gcc for multiple decades and are used to the existing
behavior, though ;)

FWIW the benefit is a *lot* clearer for the first case described, where
the two locations are in different source files due to the missing
semicolon being immediately before a #include (PR c/7356), or at the
end of a header; it replaces dozens of crazy-looking errors with a
single sane one.

Thanks; committed to trunk as r254093 (and closing out PR c/7356 after
15 years!)
