This may be a duplicate reply; some mail weirdness here.
Nevertheless, I think it's a mistake to outright reject programs that
contain such gratuitous semicolons. Given the number of occurrences
of such constructs in testcases and GCC's libraries, it's obvious that
a lot of code out there will be gratuitously (?) broken by this
change.
I agree, and the new parser (I think) accepts this construct when not
pedantic. There may be more places where we need to add the leniency
for this; it's certainly something we should accept when not being
pedantic.
