gcc version 3.4 20030502 (experimental)
>Description:
Our diagnoses for the following piece of code
used to be

  int f(int not) {
    return 1-not;
  } 

rather confusing, but now the source of the problem really
is very hard to see:

  x.cc:1: error: expected primary-expression
  x.cc:1: error: expected `,' or `;'

(Hint: the problem is that "not" is parsed as "!".)
>How-To-Repeat:
  % /sw/gcc-3.2.2/bin/g++ x.cc
  x.cc:1: parse error before `!' token
  x.cc: In function `int f(...)':
  x.cc:2: parse error before `;' token

  % gccvs x.cc
  x.cc:1: error: expected primary-expression
  x.cc:1: error: expected `,' or `;'
>Fix:
Also provide the token that lead to the parse error, so that
the user can see the actual problem.
