--- Comment #3 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Tom Westerhout from comment #2) Start by stepping through the GCC code that handles the test case and figuring out what triggers the error and what makes GCC accept the successful case. Compile GCC for debugging (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebuggingGCC), load xgcc into GDB, set a breakpoint in function error(), and run it. A relatively easy way to figure things out is to start two debugging sessions side by side, one with the successful test case and one with the failing one, step through them side by side, and make note of the differences. To see the tree operand that's being processed call the GCC function debug_tree() on it.
