I found out that AT&T cfront 2.0 now complains if the return type is
specified for a type conversion operator:
struct A
{
void * operator void * (); // gives error message
};
I am therefore making GNU C++ give a warning message about this, with
the intention of turning it into an error message later. Such
redundancy should be avoided.
On the other hand, cfront also complains about multiple
initiaizations:
int f (int = 0);
int f (int a = 0) // multiple initializations
{
...
}
I don't think this is such a hot idea, since the declaration of f and
its definition could be in different files, and it is nice to see
consistent facts at both sites. I consider this form of redundancy
useful until all editors (including vi) implement hypertext.
