Hi,

while I was working on some location issues I noticed this check which 
seems obsolete to me and means that we unnecessarily reject kosher code: 
indeed we don't test for it anywhere and neither ICC nor clang enforce 
it. I also went through the SVN history and the check is *extremely* 
old, I think rms is the last person who touched it. The location fix is 
rather obvious (in principle we could do the same for the check I'm 
proposing to remove).

Tested 86_64-linux.

Thanks, Paolo.

Never mind, got confused for various reasons... too bad anyway that we unconditionally reject such member name even when there is no virtual pointer around. Anyway, I'll send a new, straightforward patch only fixing the two locations.

Thanks, Paolo

... earlier today - I was running some errands - it occurred to me that, 
for example, gdb would have issues with a _vptr member, but that's not 
the case. Thus, all in all, I'm still not convinced that we want that 
old check. Anyway, in case we want to go for something super-safe at 
this stage, I'm attaching the promised patchlet only taking care of the 
locations.

Paolo.

OK.  The test is obsolete, as you say: the vptr name cannot be written
by the user, as it contains either . or $.
