Extended Description

Despite the C++ status page saying boolean is fully supported, when running a pretty simple test just to try out the AST generation, it seems like ctor initializing native types confuses the parser (and subsequently the AST).

The line

bool b(true);

causes an error in ParseDecl.cpp on line 1366 (as of rev. 55139).

Here is the original code:

// test constructor-style initialization of PODs
int main() {
bool b(true);
return 0;
}

and here is the output from clang:

/Users/mike/Code/asttests/shunt.cpp:3:9: error: expected parameter declarator
bool b(true);
^
/Users/mike/Code/asttests/shunt.cpp:3:9: error: expected ')'
/Users/mike/Code/asttests/shunt.cpp:3:8: error: to match this '('
bool b(true);
^

int main()
(CompoundStmt 0xc08030 </Users/mike/Code/asttests/shunt.cpp:2:12, line:5:1>
(DeclStmt 0xc07fc0 line:3:2
0xc07f80 "_Bool (b)(void)"
(ReturnStmt 0xc07d80 <line:4:2, col:9>
(IntegerLiteral 0xc07fe0 col:9 'int' 0)))

3 diagnostics generated.

This is because constructor style inits aren't supported yet. :)

This has now been fixed (rev. 57178).
