Description Johannes Schaub 2011-02-03 22:39:40 UTC 
GCC does not like the following

   auto *f() -> int;

"error: 'f' function with late return type has 'auto*' as its type rather than plain 'auto'"

Nothing in N3225 forbids that, AFAICS. See also http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9132
Comment 1 Johannes Schaub 2011-02-10 10:54:15 UTC 
I have been mistaken. The declaration "auto *f() -> int;" does not conform to the syntax.
