tree_list not supported by dump_type (Historical Question)

[Ernest L. Williams Jr.]

Hi,

When the following message occured in gcc-2.95 it was addressed in
gcc-2.95.1
===============================================================================
new_test1.cc:14: sorry, not implemented: `tree_list' not supported by
dump_type
new_test1.cc:14: ANSI C++ prohibits conversion from `()' to `(...)'
===============================================================================

Looks like the following files were modified to achieve this:
"gcc/gcc/cp/error.c"  and  "gcc/gcc/cp/typeck.c"


Did this fix survive in gcc-3.X.X?   Was this considered a compiler and
later as GCC became more
ISO C++ compliant the patch was removed?   Any help in understanding is
appreciated.




====== snippet from gcc/gcc/cp/typeck.c in gcc-2.951  ===========

      }
