[Bug c++/36002] New: Error messages report wrong, invalid function type.

[gcc-bugzilla at contacts dot eelis dot net]

Consider the following invalid code:

  template <typename T> void f() { T::bla; }
  void g() { f<void ()>(); }

g++ emits:

  t.cpp: In function ‘void f() [with T = void ()()]’:
  t.cpp:2:   instantiated from here
  t.cpp:1: error: ‘bla’ is not a member of ‘void ()()’

The error should say "void ()", not "void ()()". The latter is not even a valid
C++ type, as can be seen by doing:

  template <typename T> void f();
  void g() { f<void()()>(); }

resulting in:

  error: ‘type name’ declared as function returning a function
