            Bug ID: 71516
           Summary: ICE on invalid C++ code (invalid use of forward
                    declared type) on x86_64-linux-gnu: Segmentation fault
                    (program cc1plus)
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: su at cs dot ucdavis.edu
  Target Milestone: ---

The following C++ code causes an ICE when compiled with the current GCC trunk
on x86_64-linux-gnu in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes.  

This is a regression from 6.1.x.
