            Bug ID: 96077
           Summary: GCC accepts ill-legal local enum definition
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: haoxintu at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi, all.

This code, test.cc, has a grammar issue in "missing ')'", but GCC accepts it
well.

$cat test.cc
enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 } g_e; //reject
int main () {
    enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 /* missing ")" here */ } l_e; //accept
    return 0;
}

$g++ test.cc
test.cc:1:35: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘}’ token
    1 | enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 } g_e; //reject
      |                            ~      ^~
      |                                  )

GCC only rejects line 1 but accepts line 3.

While in Clang

$clang++ test.cc
test.cc:1:36: error: expected ')'
enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 } g_e; //reject
                                   ^
test.cc:1:28: note: to match this '('
enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 } g_e; //reject
                           ^
test.cc:3:63: error: expected ')'
    enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 /* missing ")" here */ } l_e; //accept
                                                              ^
test.cc:3:32: note: to match this '('
    enum { a = ( 1 ) ? ( 2 ) : ( 2 + 1 /* missing ")" here */ } l_e; //accept
                               ^
