[Bug c++/20563] New: Infinite loop in diagnostic

[giovannibajo at libero dot it]

The following program:

--------------------------------
int foo(int dest)
{
  int x = 0;
   __label__ l1, l2, l3;
   __label__ *lb[] = { &&l1, &&l2, &&l3 };

   goto **lb[dest];

l1:
   x += 1;
l2:
   x += 1;
l3:
   x += 1;
   return x;
}
--------------------------------

produce an infinite loop in diagnostic when compiled with G++ 3.4.3:


label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected `,' before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected `,' before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected `,' before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected `,' before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected `,' before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected `,' before '*' token
label.cc:5: error: expected identifier before '*' token
