Because the two different diagnostics make it easier to grep for. For example, Intel C++ compiler finds case 1, but says nothing about case 2. Easy to grep for. GNU C++ produces the same message for case 1 and case 2, leading to a lot of time wasting manual checking of diagnostics. Surely case 1 is much more likely to be programmer error than case 2 ? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25808
