[Bug c++/16635] New: g++ doesn't diagnose instantiation of template that uses incomplete type

[geoffk at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Consider the following:

template <class T> T * foo (T * x)
{ 
  return x++;
}

struct aclass;

aclass *
addone (aclass * x)
{ 
  return foo<aclass>(x);
}

struct aclass
{ 
  int x;
};

At the point where foo<aclass> is instantiated, 'aclass' is incomplete, and 'x++' requires it to be 
complete, so this program is not well-formed, and a diagnostic is required.
