[Bug c++/19773] New: warning for misplace semicolon is C-only

[austern at apple dot com]

The following program is valid C and valid C++.  In either language, it 
probably doesn't do what the 
programmer thought it did.
bool f();
void g();
void h() {
  if (f())
    g();
}

Compiling this as C, we can get a warning about this:
[tmp]$ gcc -c -Wall -W foo.c
foo.c: In function 'h':
foo.c:5: warning: empty body in an if-statement

Compiling as C++, we get no such warning.  Why?  This mistake is just as bad in 
C++ as in C.
