[Bug c++/33975] [4.1/4.2/4.3 Regression] Incomplete types may be derefenced

[janis at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #2 from janis at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-11-12 18:01 -------
Mainline now reports an error for this code:

elm3b187% /opt/gcc-nightly/trunk/bin/g++ 33975.cc
33975.cc: In function ‘int main()’:
33975.cc:8: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct S’
33975.cc:1: error: forward declaration of ‘struct S’
33975.cc:8: error:   initializing argument 1 of ‘int f(S)’

The patch that fixed this for mainline:

Here's the source file I used:

struct S;
int f(S s);

int
main ()
{
  S *p;
  int i = f(*p);
}
