This is one of a series of reports of bugs found in the C++ compiler here at
warwick. We have release 1.0 of the software.
DESCRIPTION
Cfront seems not to do all the type checking it ought to. The following
code contains an assignment of "pointer to function" to "enum", which
is clearly wrong, as is the generated C.
EXAMPLE
enum x { X_A, X_B};
class foo {
x i;
public:
x baz() {return i;}
};
main()
{
foo f;
x y;
y = (&f)->baz;
}
COMPILER OUTPUT
CC foo.c:
cc foo.i -lC
"foo.c", line 14: _foo_baz undefined
"foo.c", line 14: member of structure or union required
"foo.c", line 14: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op =
