Hmm...
$ cat >test.c
int foo() { baz; }
$ gcc test.c
test.c: In function `foo':
test.c:1: `baz' undeclared (first use in this function)
test.c:1: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:1: for each function it appears in.)
$
Where is this "first use this function" coming from?
While we're bitching, I am sick of seeing
test.c:1: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:1: for each function it appears in.)
I think the error message is perfectly clear without that.
