Bug ID: 121171
Summary: Improve diagnostic for parenthesized bit-field names
Product: gcc
Version: 16.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: luigighiron at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The following program demonstrates the misleading diagnostic generated by GCC
when parenthesizing a bit-field name:
struct S{
int(x):10;
};
int main(){}
The error message generated is "bit-field 'x' has non-integral type 'int'",
which doesn't give any indication of the issue and strangely says that the type
int is not integral.
