Bug ID: 117290 Summary: error: void value not ignored , pointing to the wrong function Product: gcc Version: 10.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: markgaleck at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 59433 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=59433&action=edit source SSCCE.c preprocessed with: version of gcc: 10.1.0 $cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION_ID="24.04" VERSION="24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat)" VERSION_CODENAME=noble ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian (...) command line that triggers the bug: $gcc -Wall -lc SSCCE.c SSCCE.c: In function ‘main’: SSCCE.c:7:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be 7 | if (access("", F_OK) ? | ^~~~~~ ---------------------------- Compiling this code snippet: if (access("", F_OK) ? 0 ? 0 : exit(0) : 0) gcc says: foobar.c:7:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be 7 | if (access("", F_OK) ? | ^~~~~~ So it is pointing to "access", but that is not where the problem is. The problem is that the void return from "exit" is not ignored.
