Summary: ICE on static member function with invalid type qualifier Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: martin.kronbich...@it.uu.se Using gcc version 4.6.0 20110317 (svn revision 171087) on x86-64 Linux with the code struct foo { static void func (); }; void foo::func () const {}; and compile line "g++ -c test_static.cc" gives the following: test_static.cc:4:19: internal compiler error: in merge_types, at cp/typeck.c:825 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. The code is clearly invalid (g++ 4.5 indeed gives the following error message: "test_static.cc:4:19: error: static member function ‘void foo::func()’ declared with type qualifiers"), but g++ 4.6 returns with an ICE.
