When a forward declared class is not found the error message describes it
incorrectly as a struct. See below for an example.
I'd like to submit a patch to correctly display class. Let me know if such a
patch would be considered.
$ g++ -Wall -ggdb -O0 -o t test6.cpp
test6.cpp: In function int main():
test6.cpp:8: error: invalid use of undefined type struct foobar
test6.cpp:4: error: forward declaration of struct foobar
File contains:
=====================================
// g++ -Wall -ggdb -O0 -o t test6.cpp
class foobar;
int main()
{
foobar * o = new foobar;
}
====================================
