Bug #: 50370
Summary: [C++0x] Multiple declarations with default template
arguments accepted
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: [email protected]

gcc 4.7.0 20110903 (experimental) in C++0x mode accepts the following code:
template<class T, class = int>
void foo(T);
template<class T, class = int>
void foo(T) {}
template<class = int>
void bar();
template<class = int>
void bar() {}
int main() {
foo(12);
bar();
}
According to 14.1 [temp.param] p12 this code should be rejected:
"A template-parameter shall not be given default arguments by two different
declarations in the same scope. [ Example:
template<class T = int> class X;
template<class T = int> class X { /*... */ }; // error
—end example ]"
gcc correctly rejects such examples when class templates are involved, but
fails to do so for function templates.
This looks very similar to bug 15339 or bug 48372, but the domain (default
template arguments) is different.
