Invalid function def makes my typedef go away!

[cD1rtX3]

Type: Bug

I have a typedef like this:

typedef struct S {
    /* ... */
} S;

Now, if I were to accidentally declare a function like this:

void S func();

instead of correctly telling me something like "Invalid combination of type specifiers", Intellisense completely forgets the typedef ever existed, throwing unhelpful errors everywhere S is used.

@cD1rtX3 I don't understand what the bug is. The code is invalid. I see the error "expected a ;" on "func". What do you expect? What do you mean by "unhelpful errors everywhere S is used"?
