Declaration inside template

[Kriang Lerdsuwanakij]

Hi,

The current g++ still accepts all kind of declaration/definition in a
template.  Here is an example.

template <class T> extern "C" { unsigned f(T a) { return sizeof(a); } }

int main()
{
	f(1.0);
}


Is there any plan to limit declaration/definition to those suggested by
the ANSI draft (chapter 14, first paragraph) ?    The following patch
works for me.  There is also another change so that the sequence
'template<...> __extension__ ...' is no longer allowed (seems to be The
Right Thing).  '__extension__ template<...> ...' still works.



* parse.y (template_extdef): New nonterminal.
(extdef) Use it.
(templatedef) Use it.
