[PATCH] cp/calls.c off by one error


Current mainline prints a bogus diagnostic for a test case like the following :

-----------------
struct A {};
struct B {};
struct C {};

void f(A) {}
void f(B) {}

int main ()
{
  C c;
  f(c);
}
-----------------

bug.C: In function `int main()':
bug.C:12: error: no matching function for call to `f(C&)'
bug.C:6: note: candidates are: void f(A)
bug.C:7: note:                ¿ void f(B)


Note the spurious character.

I would suggest the following patch, bootstrapped on i686-pc-linux-gnu,
which indeed fixes the bug :

        * call.c (print_z_candidates): Off by one error.
