FreeBSD-current
>Description:
Given the following bad code:
struct foo {
int fnord;
};
int
main()
{
struct foo bar[10];
struct foo *foop;
for (foop = bar; *foop; foop++);
return 0;
}
gcc emits this error:
root@morton-> cc -c -Wall foo.c
foo.c: In function `main':
foo.c:11: invalid operands to binary !=
`!='? Sounds more like a bogus dereference, to me!
