std::list<int> foo();
$ g++ error.cpp
error.cpp:2: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before
'<' token
This is missleading as mostly the case is that 'list' is just not declared.
I guess the issue should be handled similar to the case that the declaration
would be in a function scope (when the error message is sane). However quick
and
not so good fix is also possible directly to parser (I experimented a bit and
was able to have error message that is a bit clearer).
This particular error message have been after the new parser was introduced,
the
old error message was even worse.
