Hello there,

Given the following code

extern int fred( int);

class X {
public :
    void f( int = fred( 0) ) ;
} ;

void X::f( int x = fred( 0) ) {
}

and a copy of GCC 2.2.2 on Sun 4 hardware, then according to my reading
of Page 141, section 8.2.6, fourth sentence, I think the line with
the last mention of function fred should produce an error.

In fact the compiler accepts it happily.

Regards

If you lie to the compiler, it will get its revenge
