Here's another very nice example from PR 20313: 
------------------------- 
template<int j> struct s; 
template<int i> s<i>::s(int j) {} 
------------------------- 
Note that the definition of the constructor is invalid because the struct 
isn't complete. Here's what we get: 
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-4.0-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc 
x.cc:2: error: invalid use of undefined type ?struct s<j>? 
x.cc:1: error: declaration of ?struct s<j>? 
x.cc:2: error: template definition of non-template ?s<j>::s(int)? 
 
Note how the compiler uses the template argument 'j', although we use 
template argument 'i' in line 2!
