Bug ID: 117629
Summary: Redefinition of bool type in C23 could have better
diagnostic
Product: gcc
Version: 15.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sjames at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
With -std=gnu23 (the new default), a common issue in applications is:
```
typedef int bool;
```
With gnu23, this errors out as:
```
<source>:1:13: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
1 | typedef int bool;
| ^~~~
<source>:1:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
1 | typedef int bool;
| ^~~~~~~
Compiler returned: 1
```
It'd be nice if we could diagnose what's happening here (bool is a type, please
don't redeclare it, ...).
