[Bug c++/19063] New: [3.4/4.0 regresion] ICE on invalid template parameter

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following testcase causes an ICE since gcc 3.4.0:

===================================
template<operator> struct A {};
===================================

PR13268B.cc:5: error: expected identifier before 'operator'
PR13268B.cc:5: error: declaration of 'operator>' as non-function
PR13268B.cc:5: internal compiler error: tree check: expected class
'declaration', have 'type' (void_type) in process_template_parm, at cp/pt.c:2318
Please submit a full bug report, [etc.]

The bug is similar to PR13268 in that grokdeclarator returns values that
the caller cannot handle gracefully.
But in this case we actually have a regression.

Btw, if an error occurs, grokdeclarator might be returning 0 (which should
probably be NULL_TREE), error_mark_node (which is not documented) or
void_type_node (even if the caller expects a declaration as in this bug)
or ...

Is this intended, or is some heavy cleanup required?
