Bug ID: 114129 Summary: Inaccurate error message Product: gcc Version: 13.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: Theodore.Papadopoulo at inria dot fr Target Milestone: --- Given the code below struct A { virtual void f() { } }; struct B: public A { void f() override() { } }; The g++ compiler gives the following error: -> g++ -O3 test.cpp test.cpp:6:5: error: âfâ declared as function returning a function 6 | void f() override() { } | ^~~~ Technically, it should be 'override' declared as function returning a function. or even maybe that override is a reserved name and cannot be used as a function name... Yet this is much better than clang: -> clang++ -O3 test.cpp test.cpp:6:22: error: expected ';' at end of declaration list 6 | void f() override() { } | ^ | ; 1 error generated.
