// cfront 2.0 bug 900208_03

// The Cfront 2.0 reference manual (5.3.3) says "This type must be an
// object type; functions cannot be allocated this way...".

// cfront fails to detect (at compile time) cases where an attempt is made to
// allocate a function (using new).  Cases where an attempt is made to
// deallocate a function (using delete) are detected however.

typedef void (func_type) ();

void global_function_0 ()
{
  new func_type;	// ERROR - missed by cfront 2.0
}

void global_function_1 (func_type *p)
{
  delete p;		// ERROR - caught by Cfront 2.0
}

int main () { return 0; }
