>Description:
/* Compile the code snippet below with -pedantic.  The code
is illegal because the function f is redeclared with an incompatible prototype, but GCC doesn't winge.  */

struct bar {int x, y;};

void foo ()
{
  extern void f( struct bar {double x, y;} );
}

void f (struct bar );
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I doubt it's easy with the current code.  Best idea is to clean up the front-end's handling of scopes; it's too messy and obfuscated.
