[Bug c++/12581] [3.4 Regression] gcc rejects typeof use for the return type

This is not a bug.

It does not compile with GCC (as opposed to G++) and the manual says:

"A `typeof'-construct can be used anywhere a typedef name could be
used."

If that were standardese, it would say that a typeof construct is a
simple-type-specifier, which is what is implemented in the C++ front end.
