Bug ID: 70791
Summary: -Wnested-externs prints inconsistent column number
Product: gcc
Version: 6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: egall at gwmail dot gwu.edu
Target Milestone: ---
Host: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0
Target: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0
Build: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0
Say I have the following file:
$ cat undeclared.c
char *foo(char *);
int bar(void) {
char *baz = foo(UNDECLARED_MACRO(""));
}
When I compile it like this, gcc says:
$ /usr/local/bin/gcc -c -Wimplicit -Wnested-externs -Wint-conversion
undeclared.c
undeclared.c: In function âbarâ:
undeclared.c:4:18: warning: implicit declaration of function âUNDECLARED_MACROâ
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
char *baz = foo(UNDECLARED_MACRO(""));
^
undeclared.c:4:2: warning: nested extern declaration of âUNDECLARED_MACROâ
[-Wnested-externs]
char *baz = foo(UNDECLARED_MACRO(""));
^
undeclared.c:4:18: warning: passing argument 1 of âfooâ makes pointer from
integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
char *baz = foo(UNDECLARED_MACRO(""));
^
undeclared.c:1:7: note: expected âchar *â but argument is of type âintâ
char *foo(char *);
^
I would expect the warning from -Wnested-externs to point to the same column as
the other 2 warnings.
(Of course, ideally the 3 would be combined into a single warning, but that's a
separate issue)
