  13. When compiling gcc, I was warned that a test on line 10584 of cp-decl.c was
  14. always 1 due to the range of the type.  The line is:
  15.  
  16.     assert (current_binding_level->n_incomplete >= 0);
  17.  
  18. And, indeed, the n_incomplete field of binding_level is of type unsigned
  19. short, so this assertion doesn't do anything useful.
