Bug ID: 102660 Summary: Valid template default parameter of a friend function is rejected Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: fchelnokov at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- This is a presumably valid program: ``` struct A{ template<int R> friend void show(); private: int c; }; template<int R = decltype(A{}.c){0} > void show(){ } int main(){ show<>(); } ``` It is accepted by Clang, MSVC, but rejected in GCC, which complains about default parameter of R (asking for forward declaration of the function).
