[Bug preprocessor/43027] New: #pragma rejected inside enum defn

[PHHargrove at lbl dot gov]

Given the 3-line C file below, compilation with gcc-4.4.2 produces the output
that follows the code ("gcc -v" output provided as well).  I am not providing
the corresponding .i file under bug reporting guidelines "excuse ii": small
file that doesn't include any other file.

==begin code==
    enum {
    #pragma message "Hello from enum"
    VALUE1, VALUE2 };
==end code==

$ gcc -v

$ gcc -c bug.c
bug.c:2: error: expected identifier before '#pragma'

I have tried a few other gcc versions (on both 32- and 64-bit targets) and any
I can find that are new enough to support "#pragma message" produce similar
results.  It is my suspicion that any supported (non-ignored) pragma is going
to trigger the same error.

While the utility of the #pragma inside the enum definition is questionable, I
am not aware of anything that would prohibit its placement there (but am
willing to be enlightened).  In fact, the struct and union definitions below
appear to work just fine:
   struct S {
      #pragma message "Hello from struct"
      int i;
      float f;
    };
    union U {
      #pragma message "Hello from union"
      int i;
      float f;
    };

$ gcc -c notbug.c
notbug.c:2: note: #pragma message: Hello from struct
notbug.c:7: note: #pragma message: Hello from union
