[aspectc-user] a minor bug with reporting syntax errors

[Panu Bloigu]

Hello.

Just a small addition. The non-explanatory error message occurs also 
with switch, so

=============================================================================
aspect Error
{
       advice execution("void f()") : around()
       {
               int i = 0;
                switch(i
               {
                  //
               }
       }
};

void f(){}

int main()
{
       f();
       return 0;
}
=============================================================================

also gives:
=============================================================================
<anonymous unit>:4: error: invalid member declaration near token `private'
error: Execution failed: "ac++" --config "puma.config"  -k -p. -c 
"anonerr.cpp" -o "anonerr.acc"
=============================================================================
