Yes. Again, this is a quality-of-implementation issue since the requirement is not a Constraint. I'm already aware of the issue that if the struct is subsequently defined there isn't an error here, though I don't think there's a bug filed (bug 24293 is related but not the same). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26581
