Literal String Handling Issue

[cac001 0]

This code fails to compile correct (but stupid) C code:

 

#include <system.h>

char *tx = "0123";

void main()
{
 char test;

 test = *"0123"+1;
 test = tx[2];
 test = "0123"[3]; /* compile fails with: test.c(11): error: missing semicolon */
}

 

Bug description:

Valid C syntax rejected by compiler

 

Steps to reproduce:

Compile sample code

 

Expected behavior:

Compile without errors or warnings

 

Is the problem 100% reproducible:

Always occurs

 test = "0123"[3]; /* compile fails with: test.c(11): error: missing semicolon */

 

BoostC parser may not handle such construction (I need to verify this on the compiler sources). Is this feature important for you?

No, it's not important.

 

This is just one of the ISO C syntax checks we use.
