[Bug c++/16002] New: [3.4 regression] Strange error message with new parser

[rguenth at tat dot physik dot uni-tuebingen dot de]

void foo(void)
{
        double Q *= 5.0;
}

causes gcc 3.4 to print (same for mainline)

te.cpp: In function `void foo()':
te.cpp:3: error: expected primary-expression before "double"
te.cpp:3: error: expected `;' before "double"

while 3.3.4 printed the clearly superior

te.cpp: In function `void foo()':
te.cpp:3: error: parse error before `*=' token

EDG is even better

te.cpp(3): error: expected a ";"
  	double Q *= 5.0;
  	         ^
