The following test program compiles without error or warning on g++ (versions
2.95.3, 3.4.5, 4.0.2, 4.1.0, 4.1.1, and 4.3-20070323):
template<class T>
static void F();
template<>
static void F<int>(); // Explicit specialization with storage class specifier
The C++ standard seems to disallow this. From 7.1.1 - Storage class specifiers
[dcl.stc], para 1:
... A storage-class-specifier shall not be specified in an explicit
specialization (temp.expl.spec) or an explicit instantiation (temp.explicit)
directive.
I couldn't find an existing report of this, but may well have missed one.
