--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The diagnostic is technically correct (the best kind of correct!) because that
is a definition of a constructor, not just a declaration.
i.e. you are focusing on the word constructors and saying "but it is a
constructor!" when you should be focusing on "declarations of constructors".
