Bug #: 56763
Summary: "attribute ignored in declaration of " warning points
to wrong place
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: kai.koe...@digia.com
When putting an attribute at the wrong place in a friends declaration, gcc does
point incorrectly to the actual class declaration. E.g.
--
class __attribute__((visibility("default"))) X {
};
class Y {
friend __attribute__((visibility("default"))) class X;
};
int main(int , char *[])
{
}
--
will print
--
./gccattributewarning/main.cpp:1:46: warning: attribute ignored in declaration
of 'class X' [-Wattributes]
class __attribute__((visibility("default"))) X {
^
../gccattributewarning/main.cpp:1:46: note: attribute for 'class X' must follow
the 'class' keyword
--
. What I would have expected is that it points to main.cpp:5 instead.
