[Bug c++/17670] New: [4.0 regression] new (type-id) parsed as array-new

[schwab at suse dot de]

The expression "new (type-id)" is always parsed as array new operator even if  
type-id is not an array type.  
  
$ cat new.cc  
struct X {};  
X *new_X () { return new (X); }  
$ gcc -S new.cc  
$ c++filt < new.s | grep operator  
	br.call.sptk.many b0 = operator new[](unsigned long)#  
  
  
This is caused by this change:

	* cp-tree.def (NEW_EXPR): Add a fourth slot.
