Re: [9fans] once is enough: VOID

One day I'll fix cc so it's diagnostics are more like those of cyntax.
A diagnostic should indicate the culprit, not where the parser
was when the semantic analysis was done.

Then again one day dumb-ass airline will show up with my luggage.

Consider yourself lucky.  I spent half a day trying to work out what
a gcc diagnostic meant and eventually cracked open a six pack
and wrote the entire file again from scratch - discarding the first
attempt.  Never did find out what the message meant.
