Bug #: 55269
Summary: Rename tree_node complex field to avoid conflict with
C99 complex type
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: treelang
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: pe...@colberg.org
Dear GCC developers,
The identifier of the union field "tree_complex complex" of union tree_node in
tree.h potentially conflicts with the macro "#define complex _Complex" defined
in C99 <complex.h>.
I stumbled over this issue while writing a plugin for GCC using the foreign
function interface of LuaJIT. LuaJIT predefines C99 complex types, both
"_Complex" and "complex". Therefore LuaJIT rejects "tree_complex complex"
of tree_node as a declaration with an invalid declaration.
Could the tree_complex field be renamed, e.g., to "complex_cst"?
(The suggestion stems from the name of the macro COMPLEX_CST_CHECK.)
Regards,
Peter
