            Bug ID: 82013
           Summary: better error message for missing semicolon in
                    prototype
           Product: gcc
           Version: 8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: andi-gcc at firstfloor dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

gcc gives quite poor error messages when forgetting a semicolon after a
prototype (common mistake when cut'n'pasting a function definition into a
header)

It's especially confusing when the prototype is the last in the include file,
because then the errors appear in another file.

As a minimum it should warn about a missing semicolon at the end of a file.

Possibly this could be also used for fix-it, but that's likely more
complicated.
