Subject: [9fans] Compiler bug - wrong error reporting
Date: Fri,  5 Mar 2004 17:43:02 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403051343.i25Dh2n2009725@adat.davidashen.net> (raw)


1	extern char **Files;
2	
3	typedef struct {
4		char **Files;
5	} Ta;
6	
7	static char **Files = 0;

 8c -c test.c
test.c:7 external redeclaration of: Files
	STATIC IND IND CHAR test.c:7
	EXTERN IND IND CHAR test.c:4

I.e. instead of reporting 1st and 7th lines with conflicting
declarations, the compiler reports the 7th line and a field
in struct, which is from a different space.
