SUMMARY: Missing ';' causes rest of file to be ignored.
GCC: 1.30
TARGET: VAX/ULTRIX
Built using standard shell script.


The following program has an (erroneous) declaration of `struct bug'.
There is no semicolon after the token `foo'.  The file after the
following extern declaration is ignored.

I believe that this is an illegal construct, so gcc should print a
diagnostic rather than compiling the file.  If the construct is legal,
then it should not be ignoring the rest of the file.

I haven't tried this with 1.33, so it might be fixed already.

Stop.


bug.c:

    typedef struct bug {
	int y;
    } foo

    extern int exit();

	int
    buggy(x, y)
    buggy(y, x)
	int x, y;
    {
	if (x) return y;
	return x;
    }

	int
    main()
    {
	1 2 3 4, who\'s that knocking on my door?
	buggy(1);
	exit(0);
    }

end of bug.c
