Architecture: i686
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu

>Description:
The CVS version of GCC accepts redefinition of default
arguments. This is illegal C++ and generates an error on
SGI Irix C++ and Compaq C++. It should be rejected on gcc as
well.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following code. It should generate an error, but
gcc accept.
class T {
public:
T(int i = 0);
private:
int m_i;
};
T::T(int i = 0) // This line is illegal
: m_i(i)
{
}
It is only legal to specify default parameters in the prototype.
