[Bug c++/25635] New: [4.0/4.1/4.2 regression] Bogus cruft in error message for invalid operator declaration

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The diagnostic for the following invalid code snippet got worse with
GCC 4.0.0:

=============================================
struct A {};

A::operator int();
=============================================

We now issue a duplicate message and some more bogus stuff:

  bug.cc:3: error: no 'A::operator int()' member function declared in class 'A'
  bug.cc:3: error: no 'A::operator int()' member function declared in class 'A'
  bug.cc:3: error: 'A::operator int()' cannot be overloaded
  bug.cc:3: error: with 'A::operator int()'
  bug.cc:3: error: declaration of 'A::operator int()' outside of class is not
definition

We used to issue the following message which looks OK to me:

  bug.cc:3: error: no `A::operator int()' member function declared in class `A'
  bug.cc:3: error: declaration of `A::operator int()' outside of class is not
definition

For a normal member function like "void A::foo()" the error message is OK.
