             Bug #: 54485
           Summary: g++ should diagnose default arguments in out-of-line
                    definitions for template class member functions
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: dnovi...@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: ja...@gcc.gnu.org


In PR 54484, bootstraps were broken with clang++.  The template class vec_t had
a member function with default arguments, but the default values were specified
in the function definition, instead of its declaration.

According to 8.3.6, that's incorrect: "Default arguments for a member function
of a class template shall be specified on the initial declaration of the member
function within the class template."

$ cat a.cc
template<typename T>
class K
{
  int fn(int, int);
};

template<typename T>
int K<T>::fn (int a, int b = 3)
{
  return a - b;
}

$ g++ -c a.cc

$ clang++ -c a.cc
a.cc:8:26: error: default arguments cannot be added to an out-of-line
definition      of a member of a class template
int K<T>::fn (int a, int b = 3)
                         ^   ~
