SUMMARY: Missing '=' causes rest of file to be ignored.
GCC: 1.30
TARGET: VAX/ULTRIX
Built using standard shell script.


The following program has an (erroneous) initialization of `struct
bug'.  There is no equals sign after the token `buggy'.  The file after
that declaration is ignored.

I believe that this is an illegal construct, so gcc should print a
diagnostic rather than compiling the file.  If the construct is legal,
then it should not be ignoring the rest of the file.

I haven't tried this with 1.33, so it might be fixed already.

Stop.

bug.c:

    typedef struct a_t {
	int x;
    } a_t;

    a_t buggy {
	5;
    };

    this
    is a test
    this is only
    a test

end of bug.c
