Bug #: 51786 Summary: [c++0x] Invalid declaration with decltype accepted Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: reich...@gcc.gnu.org The error message "declaration does not declare anything" is not triggered in certain cases when using decltype: =================================== struct A {}; void foo() { decltype(A()); } =================================== It *is* triggered if I write decltype(int) instead. Another testcase is the following: =================================== template<int> struct A { A() { decltype(this); } }; A<0> a; =================================== It *is* triggered if I make A a non-template class. This bug is similar to PR21120 where the same problems occured with "typeof".
