[Bug c++/31489] New: error says struct when it should say class

[jg at jguk dot org]

When a forward declared class is not found the error message describes it
incorrectly as a struct. See below for an example.

I'd like to submit a patch to correctly display class. Let me know if such a
patch would be considered.

$ g++ -Wall -ggdb -O0 -o t test6.cpp
test6.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test6.cpp:8: error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct foobar’
test6.cpp:4: error: forward declaration of ‘struct foobar’

File contains:
=====================================
// g++ -Wall -ggdb -O0 -o t test6.cpp


class foobar;

int main()
{
        foobar * o = new foobar;
}
====================================
