GCC Bugzilla Bug 460

The detailed semantics of __func__ in GCC differ from those of the C99
standard:

* __func__ is not a string literal and should not take part in string
  concatenation.

* Nor should __func__ be merged with identical string literals; it is
  a separate array object.

* __func__ is an array of const char, not of plain char.  This should
  not depend on -Wwrite-strings or -fwritable-strings.

Release:
2.96

Environment:
System: Linux decomino 2.2.16 #1 Thu Jun 8 00:26:22 UTC 2000 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu

How-To-Repeat:
See gcc.dg/c99-func-2.c for the first point.  Another test may be
written for the other points.

 Tests for merging of __func__ and for its type have been added as
 c99-func-3.c and c99-func-4.c.
