Hi,

a rather simple issue. In mainline we have machinery to detect broken uses of auto variables before deduction, for which mark_used is designed to error out and return false to the caller. However, in the specific cases pointed out in this PR the error recovery is not Ok, because mark_used doesn't return false after error and anyway the caller - finish_id_expression - doesn't check the return value.

Tested x86_64-linux.

Thanks,
Paolo.
