Bug ID: 71238
Summary: Undeclared function message imprecisely points to
error column
Product: gcc
Version: 6.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: b7.10110111 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The following program
int main()
{
int x=myFunc(3234);
}
gives me the error:
test.cpp:3:22: error: ‘myFunc’ was not declared in this scope
int x=myFunc(3234);
^
Here the "^" symbol points to the closing parenthesis (and the parenthesis
itself is even colored red). But the error is not at that column, but rather at
`myFunc` identifier.
Similar code but without function call parentheses leads to much more precise
error message:
test.cpp:3:11: error: ‘myFunc’ was not declared in this scope
int x=myFunc/*(3234)*/;
^~~~~~
