Description Hubert Tong 2014-01-13 21:19:56 UTC
The following is reduced from the example in N3290 subclause 5.1.1 [expr.prim.general] paragraph 5:

class Outer {
   void f() {
      struct Inner {
         int c[sizeof(*this)]; // error: not inside a member function of Inner
      };
   }
};

GCC does not provide a diagnostic for this although, the declaration in question runs afoul of the constraint in paragraph 4 for the subclause by using "this" elsewhere in the member-declarator.

## Compile command:
g++-4.8 -std=c++11 nestedClassThisNonStaticDataMemDiag.cc

## Actual output:
(No diagnostics; clean compile).

## Expected output:
(Error message).

## g++ -v:
Using built-in specs.

I actually think this is
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#1837

Which means it has the following status:
[Accepted at the November, 2020 meeting as part of paper P1787R6 and moved to DR at the February, 2021 meeting.]
