Hi,

in this old bug Ian complained that the diagnostic we provide for:

typedef void v;
typedef v (*pf)(v);

is rather unfriendly, especially for people coming from C:

33101.C:2:17: error: ‘<anonymous>’ has incomplete type
33101.C:2:18: error: invalid use of ‘v’

thus Gaby (and Ian) suggested something along the lines of what Ipropose below. Today I also noticed that some front-ends also dealspecially with cv-qualified void, thus added that case too, then justgenerically 'void' I think it's good enough.


Thanks,
Paolo.
