           Summary: unclear "prototype for '...' does not match any in
                    class" diagnostic for templates
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: redi@gcc.gnu.org


Given the invalid code:

struct S
{
    void f();
};

template<typename T>
void S::f()
{
}

G++ complains:

x.cc:7:6: error: prototype for 'void S::f()' does not match any in class 'S'
x.cc:3:10: error: candidate is: void S::f()

The error message doesn't indicate that one of the signatures is a template, it
might be helpful if it did.

(I have just spent about a minute being dumb and confused because the line with
"template<typename T>" was scrolled off the top of my editor window and I
couldn't see why the signatures didn't match!)

If the situation is reversed, so the declaration is a template but the
definition is not, the error message makes it obvious:

x.cc:7:6: error: prototype for 'void S::f()' does not match any in class 'S'
x.cc:4:12: error: candidate is: template<class T> void S::f()
