Product: gcc
Version: 7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

int main()
{
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ gcc -std=c11 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -O3 test.c && ./a.out
test.c:3:12: error: conflicting types for ‘x’
enum { b } x; // (3)
^
test.c:2:10: note: previous declaration of ‘x’ was here
unsigned x; // (2)
^

gcc version: gcc (GCC) 7.0.0 20160616 (experimental)
It would be better to display the conflicting declaration (1) instead of just
the previous one (2).
