Bug#354700: gcc 4 does not notice C syntax error
Package: gcc
Version: 4.0.2-5
This is what happens if you accidentally put a stray semicolon in a
parameter-type-list:
rjk@wyddfa:~$ cat > t.c
int foo(int x;) { }
rjk@wyddfa:~$ gcc-4.0 --version
gcc-4.0 (GCC) 4.0.3 20051201 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-5)

rjk@wyddfa:~$ gcc-4.0 -c t.c
rjk@wyddfa:~$ echo $?
0
Earlier versions of GCC noticed the syntax error, though produced the
somewhat delphic "parameter "x" has just a forward declaration".
