Bug ID: 77323
Summary: Bad "defaults to 'int'" warning for unsupported types
Product: gcc
Version: 7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
When declaring something using an unsupported type specifier, such as __int128
on 32-bit systems, or _Float128x, the error for the unsupported type is
followed by a warning about the type defaulting to int. The warning isn't
useful in this case (where a type was specified, but was unsupported, and got
an error for being unsupported). E.g., on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with -m32:
__int128 a;
_Float128x b;
gets:
t.c:1:1: error: '__int128' is not supported on this target
__int128 a;
^~~~~~~~
t.c:1:10: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'a'
[-Wimplicit-int]
__int128 a;
^
t.c:2:1: error: '_Float128x' is not supported on this target
_Float128x b;
^~~~~~~~~~
t.c:2:12: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'b'
[-Wimplicit-int]
_Float128x b;
^
and it would be better just to give the two errors, without the following
warnings.
