            Bug ID: 86377
           Summary: extern int errno; is treated as buggy function
                    declaration [-Werror=strict-prototypes]
           Product: gcc
           Version: 9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 44344
  --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=44344&action=edit
The output file of -save-temps (ie. the "file.i" file)

test file extern_var_bug.c:
----------------- 
#include <errno.h>
extern int errno;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  return errno;
}


Output:
-------
extern_var_bug.c:2:16: error: function declaration isn't a prototype
[-Werror=strict-prototypes]
 extern int errno;
                ^
extern_var_bug.c: In function 'main':
extern_var_bug.c:4:14: warning: unused parameter 'argc' [-Wunused-parameter]
 int main(int argc, char* argv[])
          ~~~~^~~~
extern_var_bug.c:4:26: warning: unused parameter 'argv' [-Wunused-parameter]
 int main(int argc, char* argv[])
                    ~~~~~~^~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors


Compiler and compile command:
-----------------------------
# gcc-latest is v9 from svn trunk on x86_64
$ gcc-latest --version

Remarks:
--------
- The compile error happens only if <errno.h> was included, and only if
compiled as C.
- The same error originally happened in 
../../gcc_trunk/libiberty/pex-common.c:28:1: error: function declaration isn't
a prototype [-Werror=strict-prototypes]
 extern int errno;
 ^~~~~~
when building with nearly almost all warnings enabled and -g0 -DNDEBUG.
