Bug #: 53434
Summary: Compiler decides declaration/expression ambiguity too
soon.
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: james.ka...@gmail.com

Source code for very simple program showing the bug.
This may be the same as 37213, but the context is somewhat different. When I
compile (simply g++ -c <filename>), I get the following error message:
bugInGcc.cc: In function 'void f()':
bugInGcc.cc:20:39: error: size of array has non-integral type 'const char [2]'
bugInGcc.cc:20:39: error: 'parameter' declared as function returning an array
Apparently, g++ is deciding in favor of declaration after seeing C()["a"],
despite the fact that a declaration cannot be followed by a . operator.
