This is the C++ front-end part, probably incomplete but passes the testsuite. cp/ * class.c (finish_struct_1): If structure has reverse scalar storage order, rewrite the type of array fields with scalar component. * semantics.c (reduced_constant_expression_p) : Deal with TYPE_REVERSE_STORAGE_ORDER. * typeck.c (structural_comptypes): Return false if two aggregate types have different scalar storage order. (cp_build_addr_expr_1) : New case. Issue the error for bit-fields here and not later. : Issue error and warning for reverse scalar storage order. * typeck2.c (split_nonconstant_init_1) : Deal with TYPE_REVERSE_STORAGE_ORDER. typeck.c | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- class.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ constexpr.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++++--- typeck2.c | 8 ++++++-- 4 files changed, 79 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- Eric Botcazou
