Hi,

here we want to reject meaningless things like:

template<> int i;   // { dg-error "template" }

struct A
{
};

template<> A j;     // { dg-error "template" }

It seems to me that a good place to do that is toward the end of 
cp_parser_single_declaration, where we have only to be careful with 
static data members (otherwise, eg, debug/static1.C regresses 
immediately). I'm not sure about the error message...

The below bootstraps and tests fine on x86_64-linux.

Thanks,
Paolo.

Can we just check whether decl has DECL_TEMPLATE_INFO at this point?

I tried, possibly together with a preliminary DECL_LANG_SPECIFIC check 
and maybe a check that decl isn't already error_mark_node, but anyway 
apparently the idea has issues with friends, testcases like 
template/friend17.C (gave me already headaches earlier today, that's why 
I'm so quick at replying ;)

template <class T>
struct X {
   template <class U> void operator+=(U);

   template <class V>
   template <class U>
   friend void X<V>::operator+=(U);
};

int main() {
   X<int>() += 1.0;
}

when we parse the friend declaration, DECL_TEMPLATE_INFO is not set.

Paolo.

I looked somewhat more into this and I haven't been able to find a 
simple way to just use DECL_TEMPLATE_INFO. If I arrange to cope with 
friend17.C by explicitly excluding TEMPLATE_DECLs like in:

       else if (decl != error_mark_node
            && TREE_CODE (decl) != TEMPLATE_DECL
            && (!DECL_LANG_SPECIFIC (decl)
                || !DECL_TEMPLATE_INFO (decl)))
         {
           error_at (decl_spec_token_start->location,
             "%qT is not a template type", TREE_TYPE (decl));
           decl = error_mark_node;
         }

then we regress eg, g++.dg/cpp0x/temp_default4.C, because in that case, 
again involving friends, we have:

lass X {
   template<typename T = int> friend void f(X) { }
   template<typename T> friend void g(X); // { dg-error "previously 
declared here" }
   template<typename T = int> friend void h(X); // { dg-error "function 
template friend" }
};

template<typename T = int> void g(X) // { dg-error "default template 
argument" }
{
}

and the out of class g is a FUNCTION_DECL with again DECL_TEMPLATE_INFO 
not set.

Do you have in mind something more specific?

Ah, just in case you wondered (like me ;) we do *not* have an issue with 
things like:

template<> int i(int);

which obviously aren't VAR_DECLs, because those are handled already by 
check_explicit_specialization.

What about adding a comment about the latter point?

Thanks,
Paolo.
