[Bug c++/42062] New: [4.3/4.4/4.5 Regression] Trouble with invalid template specialization

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following invalid testcase triggers an ICE since GCC 4.3.4:

=======================================
template<typename> struct A
{
  template<int> void foo();

  template<> struct A<void>
  {
    template<int> void foo();
  };
};

void bar()
{
  A<void> a;
  a.foo<0>();
}
=======================================

bug.cc:5:12: error: explicit specialization in non-namespace scope 'struct A<
<template-parameter-1-1> >'
bug.cc:5:21: error: template parameters not used in partial specialization:
bug.cc:5:21: error:         '<template-parameter-1-1>'
bug.cc: In function 'void bar()':
bug.cc:14:12: internal compiler error: in retrieve_specialization, at
cp/pt.c:953
Please submit a full bug report, [etc.]

A similar testcase is wrongly accepted since GCC 3.3 (before it it triggered
an ICE):

=======================================
template<typename> struct A
{
  template<int> void foo();

  template<typename T> struct A<T*>
  {
    template<int> void foo();
  };
};

void bar()
{
  A<void*> a;
  a.foo<0>();
}
=======================================
