As does icc. I can't see why the code would be invalid if one accepts that T bar; is the declaration of a function pointer 'bar'. In that case, you simply have an invalid function pointer and calling it should yield a segfault, just as you get. Now, here's a different interpretation that icc actually takes: it says that T bar; is the declaration for a function with name and signature int bar(); and the code will yield a linker error when compiled. In any case, can you clarify why exactly you think the code should be rejected? W. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29927
