See https://stackoverflow.com/q/56519330/827263 posted by user Fureeish

g++ on Cygwin does not diagnose an implicit int error.
The same version of g++ on Ubuntu correctly diagnoses the error.

(I had initially thought that g++ was defaulting to "-fpermissive",
but that would change the fatal error to a warning.  Instead, no
diagnostic message is being produced at all.)

This script "implicit_int_bug.sh" demonstrates the problem:
=== CUT HERE ===
#!/bin/sh

verbosely() {
    echo "% $*"
    "$@" || echo ">>> exit $?"
}

verbosely uname -a
verbosely g++ --version

echo 'func() { }' > implicit_int.cpp
verbosely cat implicit_int.cpp

echo ">>> EXPECTED: warning: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘ptr’ with
no type [-fpermissive]"
verbosely g++ -c -fpermissive implicit_int.cpp

echo ">>> EXPECTED: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘notype’
with no type [-fpermissive]"
verbosely g++ -c implicit_int.cpp

echo ">>> EXPECTED: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘notype’
with no type [-fpermissive]"
verbosely g++ -c -std=c++11 -pedantic implicit_int.cpp
=== AND HERE ===

The output under 64-bit Cygwin on Windows 10.
This demonstrates the problem.

I see the same problem on Cygwin with i686-w64-mingw32-g++,
x86_64-pc-cygwin-g++, and x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ (all version 7.4.0).

The Stack Overflow post refers to a similar problem with MinGW.

I've seen the same problem on MSYS2, g++ 7.4.0.
