I have submitted a defect report about the difference from C in this respect;
this is now C++ core DR 577:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#577
Please could the "fix" to GCC be reverted until this issue is settled?

Considering the orginal DR was rejected as not a defect, I doubt yours will
have an effect also.
See:
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_closed.html#18

Maybe it will be but as of right now GCC 4.2.0 follows the standard and it was
settled already before.

Is the following supposed to fail given that Joseph said that it's valid C code
(but not valid in C++) and the header contains extern "C":

(sid)976:tbm@em64t: ~/src] cat t.h
#if defined(__cplusplus)
extern "C" {
#endif
    typedef void ALCvoid;
    void test(ALCvoid);
#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif
(sid)977:tbm@em64t: ~/src] cat t.c
#include "t.h"
(sid)978:tbm@em64t: ~/src] /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/g++ -c t.c
In file included from t.c:1:
t.h:5: error: '<anonymous>' has incomplete type
t.h:5: error: invalid use of 'ALCvoid'

extern "C" does not change the language rules, only linkage.  The contents 
must still be valid C++ and are interpreted according to C++ rules for 
those cases where the same code is valid C and C++ but has different 
semantics in the two languages.

Sigh :(. The response at the October 2006 to DR 577 is enough to make any
template meta-programmer bang their head against the wall in despair.

This is the language that, according to its creator as a design goal should
'trust the programmer', right?

I certainly have a formal position on this and many other similar issues that
affect TMP.

This should have been at most a warning with the option to turn it off.

The Visual C++ compilers may be less fussy than gcc but at least they tend to
do the sensible thing.

All I have GCC 3.4, 3.3.1, 2.95.3, 3.2.3. ICC 6.0 (only in ISO strict mode) warns about it though.

What compiler version?  I can't reproduce that behavior with any version I 
have on hand.

Okay, I read the core issue wrong.
But I should have said this is accepted but should not be:
typedef void type;
void f(type);

I hope you're kidding.  That would render std::allocator<void> and all 
specializations of std::ostream_iterator illegal, not to mention most of the 
programs I've written for the past three years.

It was detaimed that was not a DR but GCC stills accepts invalid code:
typedef void type;
should not be able to compile.

I'm not sure anymore what I had in mind when I submitted it (over a
year ago), but looking over the history of this bug, I think I've been
roundly misinterpreted.  For me, the supplied code sample has always
failed to compile:

  $ g++-3.3.1 /tmp/fu.cpp
  /tmp/fu.cpp:9: error: `X::operator Y<T>(typename voidify<T>::type)' must take
     `void'

  $ g++-2 /tmp/fu.cpp
  /tmp/fu.cpp:9: `X::operator Y<T>(typename voidify<T>::type)' must take `void'
  /tmp/fu.cpp:9: `X::operator Y<T>(typename voidify<T>::type) const' must take `void'

I might have misread the CWG issue
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_closed.html#18,
thinking it was a defect.

Dave,

can you prepare a small self-contained testcase which uses this feature in the 
SFINAE context? It'd be really useful to prepare a full fix for this issue.
