Bug #: 53553
Summary: misleading locations for error in initializers
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: akim.demaille@gmail.com
Created attachment 27541

Test case
In the following example:
struct foo
{
foo(int a, int b, int c)
: a_(a)
, b_(b)
, c_(c)
{}
int* a_;
int b_;
int c_;
};
g++ 4.8 reports:
ctor.cc: In constructor 'foo::foo(int, int, int)':
ctor.cc:6:11: error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'int*' [-fpermissive]
, c_(c)
^
while, of course, the error is on a_, at line 4, not 6. 4.7 is wrong too (it
reports line 6 instead of 4), yet caret-errors make it even more confusing.
Thanks for the good work!
