Package: g++ Version: 3:3.3-2 Severity: minor
-- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux suffix 2.4.24 #1 Wed Jan 14 09:52:19 CET 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages g++ depends on: ii cpp 3:3.3-2 The GNU C preprocessor. ii g++-3.3 1:3.3.1-1 The GNU C++ compiler ii gcc-3.3 1:3.3.1-1 The GNU C compiler Hi, I would like to submit the following bug-report: Recently I tried to compile the following source: void or() {} When compiling this function, the following compilation error was reported: demo.cc:1: error: syntax error before `||' token Next I did several small additional tests: - The same kind of error was produced with the `and' and `xor' identifiers. - The same kind of error was produced with the `and' and `xor' identifiers used in variable declarations. - When the source is offered to the C compiler no errors are reported (compiler: cc --version cc (GCC) 3.3.1 (Debian) ) - Using a namespace doesn't prevent the error. - The error does not occur using another C++ compiler on other hardware (IRIX64 hpv 6.5 04100803 IP35) using its C++ compiler (MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.3.1.2m) - `or', `and' and `xor' are not C++ keywords. As the problem is not occurring with another type of compiler and as the identifier(s) aren't keywords, I suspect there might be a glitch in the lexical scanner, returning OR-tokens for both '||' and 'or'. Kind regards, Frank B. Brokken.
