           Summary: Forward class declaration is rejected in throw
                    declaration
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: klaus dot kretschel at dlr dot de
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org

Input (forw.cc):
struct TimeRangeException;
struct DateTime
{
  void setDate(void) throw (TimeRangeException);
};

Call:
g++ -c forw.cc

Output:
forw.cc:4: invalid use of undefined type `struct TimeRangeException'
forw.cc:1: forward declaration of `struct TimeRangeException'

Expected:
No error message. Code compiles fine on other compilers, including g++ 2.95.3.
