Bug ID: 66879
Summary: Error message when defining a member function inside a
class definition
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: anders.granlund.0 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 35988
--> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=35988&action=edit
prog.cc used in the command line
Compile the attached program with the following command line:
gcc prog.cc
The output is the following:
prog.cc:6:22: error: definition of ‘void A::f()’ is not in namespace enclosing
‘A’ [-fpermissive]
class A { void f() {} };
^
The expected behaviour is not to get this error message. The error message seem
to suggest that the compiler thinks that the program violates [class.mfct]/2
where one sentence says:
"A member function definition that appears outside of the class definition
shall appear in a namespace scope enclosing the class definition."
Observe however that the member function definition in the given program is
made inside the class definition.
Note that if we remove the member function definition in the given program it
compiles without errors.
Output of gcc -v:
Using built-in specs.
