This is one of a series of reports of bugs found in the C++ compiler here at
warwick. We have release 1.0 of the software.

DESCRIPTION
	Cfront seems to get confused between return types and argument types if
	you get them wrong. This only seems to happen for operator functions -
	normal member functions provoke a correct error message.

EXAMPLE

	struct foo {
		operator=(foo &);	// void return type missing
	};

	void
	foo::operator=(foo &f)		// Oops
	{
	}

	main()
	{
	}
COMPILER OUTPUT
	CC  foo.c:
	"foo.c", line 8: error: bad argument type for foo::operator =()
	1 error
