Synopsis: Misleading error message for "unsigned long double"
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: bangerth
State-Changed-When: Tue Nov 5 07:57:45 2002
State-Changed-Why:
I think the warning is actually ok:
unsigned short double fred;
is recognized as "unsigned short" plus "double", while
unsigned long double fred;
is recognized as "unsigned" plus "long double", which makes
all the difference in the messages. I think, the message
as it is is actually sufficiently helpful to find this
kind of error :-)
