You probably already know about this, but here it is anyway:

Machine: Sun Sparcstation 2,  SunOS 4.1.1
Compiler: gcc 2.2.2  built locally according to the vanilla directions.
          [I did the stage3 comparision stuff also]
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.2.2/specs
gcc version 2.2.2

configure command: I forget.
No local modifications to compiler source.

Synopsis:

The following code from groff-1.05 fails to compile using gcc-2.2.2

from lib/errarg.h

class errarg {
  enum { EMPTY, STRING, CHAR, INTEGER, DOUBLE } type;
  union {
    const char *s;
    int n;
    char c;
    double d;
  };
 public:
  errarg();
  errarg(const char *);
  errarg(char);
  errarg(unsigned char);
  errarg(int);
  errarg(double);
  int empty() const;
  void print() const;
};

from lib/errarg.c


#include <stdio.h>
#include "assert.h"
#include "errarg.h"

errarg::errarg(const char *p) : s(p == 0 ? "(null)" : p), type(STRING)
{
}

g++ errarg.c yields

errarg.c: In method `errarg::errarg (const char *)':
errarg.c:26: assignment between incompatible pointer types

Message is from line 5532 of cp-typeck.c.
