[Bug c++/21976] New: Incomplete types are not detected at template definition time

[giovannibajo at libero dot it]

Hello,

the following should probably be flagged as an error without requiring an 
instantiation of the template:

-------------------------------
struct A;

template <class> struct B {
  void foo(void) { A a; }
};
-------------------------------

GCC accepts the code without complaining.
