Hello Iain:
Is this bug still alive (I joined in bug 63510)? If it is, I shall try
to fix it within this month (within 2014-11-30).
At present, its status is:
- gcc members think that what compiler has done is correct, but need
improve its report line number:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63510
- gdb members might think what compiler has done is incorrect (need not
report warning).
- for me, I agree with gcc members' opinion, and shall try to improve
its report line number.
Welcome any ideas, suggestions and completions, in time.
Thanks.
