Bug ID: 101818
Summary: Error message for the wrong name in designated
initializers could be improved
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: hewillk at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Consider: https://godbolt.org/z/8xrocoTcG
struct Op { int a, b; };
Op op{.a = 0,
.x = 0,
.b = 0};
Clang rejects with:
<source>:3:8: error: field designator 'x' does not refer to any field in type
'Op'
.x = 0,
^
However, GCC rejects with:
<source>:6:13: error: 'Op' has no non-static data member named 'x'
6 | .b = 0};
| ^
It would be less confusing and more user-friendly if the cursor can actually
point to the x.
