Bug ID: 61940 Summary: Wrong error location for error in initialization list Product: gcc Version: 4.8.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: martin at steghoefer dot eu Created attachment 33199 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33199&action=edit Example that provokes an error message with a wrong location When using several initializers in a constructor initializer list, an error in one of the initializers (e.g. a conversion from a const pointer to a non-const pointer, like in the attached example) is reported by gcc on the last token of the *whole* initializer list (not the last token of the erroneous initializer). This behavior is independent of the erroneous initializer being a member initialization or a call to a super-class constructor. Reproduce: g++ gcc-wrong-error-location.ii Output: gcc-wrong-error-location.cxx: In constructor ‘Class::Class(const double*)’: gcc-wrong-error-location.cxx:13:19: error: invalid conversion from ‘const double*’ to ‘double*’ [-fpermissive] m_otherMemberB(1) // good initialization (shown as erroneous line) ^ gcc version: Using built-in specs.
