- Subject: Degraded C++ error messages.
Hiya,
this is going to be a thread to which I will add unreadable
or very much degraded error message of g++. Being mainly
a *user* of g++, it is my experience that the error messages
have gotten less and less practical value.
Example 1.
5: std::vector<int> v;
6: int* p = v.begin()->base();
~>g++-2.95.3 troep.cc
troep.cc: In function `int main()':
troep.cc:6: request for member `base' in `*v.vector<int,allocator<int> >::begin()', which is of non-aggregate type `int'
~>g++-3.3.2 troep.cc
troep.cc: In function `int main()':
troep.cc:6: error: request for member `base' in `*(&std::vector<_Tp,
_Alloc>::begin() [with _Tp = int, _Alloc =
std::allocator<int>]())->__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<_Iterator,
_Container>::operator->() const [with _Iterator = int*, _Container =
std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >]()', which is of non-aggregate type `
int'
~>g++-cvs-3.4 troep.cc
troep.cc: In function `int main()':
troep.cc:6: error: expected type-name
troep.cc:6: error: expected `::'
troep.cc:6: error: expected `~'
troep.cc:6: error: expected identifier
