           Summary: clang error points to the wrong place entirely
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

This testcase has a typo where ':' was used in place of ';'.

class Foo {
  virtual ~Foo():
  virtual void ListWidgets();
};

The clang error is Just Wrong:
nlewycky at ducttape:~$ clang++ test.cc -fsyntax-only
test.cc:3:29: error: expected '{'
  virtual void ListWidgets();
                            ^
1 error generated.

No. That's not where the error is. It was on the previous line.
