latest cppcheck: new syntax errror

[Martin]

Hi,

the latest cppcheck creates a new syntax error.

old commit: f48e195c31f8f7de60826036f2fc797c9e7f942c (working)
new commit: d3d2e16137dccf9269f1f2d017606be24ab31d39 (syntax error)

The code is:

auto operator<<(std::ostream &s, const Pr<st> p) -> std::ostream &
{
   return s;
}

auto foo() -> void
{
   using Pr = d::Pr<st>;
}

The message is:
21-02-10.cpp:1:42: error: syntax error [syntaxError]
auto operator<<(std::ostream &s, const Pr<st> p) -> std::ostream &
^</st>

Could you please check?

Thanks,
Martin

I'll look into it.

This will take some time to fix. This has been broken for a while. It started in 1.87 but it didn't cause a syntax error until 1.90. It's still present in 2.3. I'm not sure why it went away and came back recently during this development cycle.

I created a ticket here: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/10173

This turned out to be a lot easier to fix than I thought. I have a fix here: https://github.com/IOBYTE/cppcheck/tree/Martin but it will conflict with an uncommitted PR so I will wait for it to be committed first.
