cc 2.1 on the DECstation dumps core compiling this function:
double du_dt (double u0, double v0)
{
return ((-1/(2*0.056))(1*0.00015*8*u0*sqrt(u0*u0+v0*v0)));
}
There is a bug in the source code: the argument to return parses as
(floating point value)(floating point value)
which looks like a function call, but a floating point value is not a
function pointer so this is illegal.
The compiler shouldn't dump core even though the input has an error.
