Actually "variable a" or "variable b" does not make sense here, we really want to use the word lvalue instead of variable as shown by my other two testcases. Yes I know it is not the diagnostic machinery's business here to second guess a type error correction but I am saying we need to change the error message fully. We should not be using "variable %qD" when we can get any kind of lvalues here. -- Pinski -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33208
