Introduction

The current descriptions of scope and name lookup are confusing, incomplete, and at times incorrect. [basic.scope] defines the word “scope” in two different ways, and then implicitly and indirectly specifies many aspects of name lookup with imperfect correspondence to the descriptions in [basic.lookup]. Lookup is often described for units of program text that may include multiple names and < tokens that must be disambiguated, such as a template-id ([temp.dep]/2), id-expression ([over.call.func]/2), or conversion-type-id ([class.qual]/1.2). Namespaces, and the global namespace in particular, are inconsistently described as being one or many declarative regions ([basic.scope.namespace]/1, /4). There are dozens of Core issues on the subject; the general vagueness of the wording on the subject interferes with resolving them individually.

Modules significantly complicate the situation, principally by invalidating the tacit assumption that “every” lookup is restricted to preceding declarations in the same translation unit. There were already exceptions to that rule (e.g., complete class contexts and using-declaration conflicts), which can then easily be (mis)read as applying to all contents of all translation units. Many rules, like those for lookup through a using-directive, do not make any mention of location at all, and so become ambiguous.

The similar process of associating a declaration with a previous declaration of the same name is also poorly specified. In particular, there is no consistent rule as to whether multiple declarations of the same name introduce distinct entities (that might conflict) or one entity (and might conflict).

This paper rewrites large sections of [basic.scope] and [basic.lookup] and parts of [temp.res] (and makes the requisite changes elsewhere to adapt to new definitions) to address these issues holistically. As discussed individually below, 61 Core issues are resolved, as well as 19 points discussed on the reflector but not (yet) on the issues list. Many changes are (collectively) editorial, but their very number demands CWG review. Other changes generally formalize current implementation practice or, in the absence of implementation consensus, establish language consistency.

Approach

To avoid redundant specification of scope and of name lookup, all description of where a name might be used ([basic.scope.block], [basic.scope.enum], etc.) is phrased merely in terms of the total extent of each scope where a name might be introduced. The scopes are always properly nested, although there are situations where unqualified lookup considers a scope that does not contain the point of the lookup. Explicit wording is introduced to require that lookup occur from a program point (replacing lookup “in the context” of something) and consider only previous declarations (except in complete-class contexts) and those made available by import. Most declarations are said to “bind” the names they introduce to themselves, replacing the notion of “not found by lookup”. To avoid confusion, the word “bind” is not used for describing locked-in lookup results as for default arguments (which can instead be described as being looked up from their declarations). The use of the word “visible” to indicate a declaration’s placement is avoided in normative text.

Several kinds of scope search are defined, and several kinds of qualified lookup are combined, to minimize redundancy in the definition of the lookup algorithms. The word “lookup” or phrase “look up” is used only for resolution of a name that is complete (at least in the simple context; it might be reused as a subroutine elsewhere). Lookup is defined for nested-name-specifiers in declarator-ids.

The descriptions of the algorithms generally favor local completeness at the expense of additional references to distant clauses (that would otherwise specify special cases for their respective language features). Several rule restatements are turned into notes.

Every lookup is explicitly for a name, not an id-expression or type-id. Template arguments in an id-expression are addressed by defining which names are subject to qualified lookup and by excluding a template-id from being a name. Because labels interact with so little of the language, their identifiers are excluded from names and name lookup entirely.

To avoid confusion when a name is declared multiple times in a scope, careful distinction is made between a name and a declaration of that name. In particular, the “point of declaration” of a name (usually; [basic.scope.pdecl]/3 describes one for an unnamed class or enumeration) is replaced with the “locus” of a declaration.

The phrases “global name” and “global object” are removed to reduce the apparent special status of the global namespace (but “global scope” still exists because of its lack of syntax and as a shorthand).

Wording for the (possible) declaration of a class by an elaborated-type-specifier is removed from [basic.scope.pdecl]/7, [basic.lookup.elab]/2, [namespace.memdef]/3, and [class.friend]/11 and merged into [dcl.type.elab].

Richard’s proposal for “using-declarations & {,!}export” is followed: a (non-dependent) using-declaration is replaced with its referent(s) during name lookup rather than introducing additional declarations. Because it is consistent with that replacement, and for consistency with existing implementations, the inclusion of hidden type names by a member using-declaration is extended to those not in a class.

Declarations are deemed to declare the same entity when they must do so, categorizing conflicts between, say, namespace x {} and template<class> concept x=true; as inconsistent redeclarations. The word “redeclaration” is restricted to that case (and not a declaration of an existing name in a new scope). A procedure is specified for connecting a declaration of a qualified name or a template specialization to the original declaration of the name or template, aggregating wording scattered across [namespace.qual]/7, [basic.link]/6–7, [namespace.memdef]/2–3, [class.mfct]/1–3, [class.static.data]/3, [temp.class]/3, and [temp.class.spec.mfunc]/1. (This is not considered name lookup, partly because a mechanism other than overload resolution is used to resolve ambiguities.) Language linkage is respecified as being an attribute of an entity (or a function type), not a name.

Examples

The lookup for the following examples is narrated to help CWG members relate old and new terminology. Cross references prefixed with + are to N4861 as edited here.

using-directive vs. using-declaration

namespace F {float x;}
namespace A {
  namespace I {int x;}
  using namespace I;
  using F::x;
  void f() {
    x=0;     // #1: error
    A::x=1;  // #2: OK: F::x
  }
}
  1. At #1, x is looked up as an unqualified name (+[basic.lookup.unqual]/4) via an unqualified search of the function block scope of A::f (/3).
  2. When continuing on past the function parameter scope of A::f to the namespace scope of A, the unqualified search searches A and also every namespace contained by A and nominated by an active using-directive (/2).
  3. The single using-directive is active in the block scope (/1), which is contained by A, as is I.
  4. Therefore A and I are searched simultaneously.
  5. The using-declaration is replaced with F::x (+[basic.lookup]/4), and the lookup is ambiguous ([basic.lookup]/1).
  1. At #2, A is looked up as an unqualified name. x is a qualified name (+[basic.lookup.qual]/2), so undergoes qualified name lookup (/3) which is just a search of A.
  2. The search finds F::x, so the using-directive is not considered by +[namespace.qual]/1.

CWG459

struct A {using T=int;};  // given
template<class T>
struct B : A {
  void f() {T i;}
};
  1. T (in the template-head), B, and f are not looked up (+[dcl.meaning]/3, +[class.pre]/1) because they introduce entities. (They may be used to recognize existing declarations being redeclared or with which there is a conflict, but they are not “evaluated” to an entity.)
  2. A is looked up as an unqualified name (+[basic.lookup.unqual]/4), ignoring non-type names ([class.derived]/2).
  3. T is looked up as an unqualified name when defining the class template B (+[temp.res]/1):
    1. Unqualified name lookup performs an unqualified search in the enclosing scope (+[basic.lookup.unqual]/3), which is the function block scope of B::f (+[basic.scope.block]/1).
    2. For each enclosing scope, an unqualified search is just a search except when considering a namespace (+[basic.lookup.unqual]/2); a search is just a single search except when considering a class (template) (+[class.member.lookup]/1). The function block scope is neither and has no binding for T (and the parameter scope (+[basic.scope.param]/1) has only __func__).
    3. The next enclosing scope is that of B; classes and class templates have scopes (+[basic.scope.class]/1). It is a class template, and a single search in it finds nothing ([class.member.lookup]/4), so its non-dependent base classes are considered (+[class.member.lookup]/5).
    4. A single search in the scope of A finds the typedef-name.
    5. The next enclosing scope is the template parameter scope to which the template parameter T belongs ([basic.scope.temp]/2), but it is never considered.

Calling a conversion function

auto x = s.operator R T::*();
  1. x is not looked up (+[dcl.meaning]/3).
  2. s is subject to normal unqualified lookup (+[basic.lookup.unqual]/4).
  3. The names used in the conversion-type-id are looked up “in the same fashion as the conversion-function-id” (/5).
  4. While that lookup can’t happen yet, the conversion-function-id is a member-qualified name (+[basic.lookup.qual]/2) and thus undergoes qualified lookup in the class of s (call it S; /3).
  5. If S::R finds nothing, R is looked up as an unqualified name (+[basic.lookup.unqual]/5 again); T is considered the same way (separately), except that non-type names are ignored because of the following :: ([basic.lookup.qual]/1).
  6. Once the type named by the conversion-type-id is known ([class.conv.fct]/1), the conversion-function-id is looked up as described above (eventually reaching +[basic.lookup]/6 if any conversion function templates are involved).

Calling destructors

struct A {using X=A;};
struct B : A {struct X {};};
void f(B *b) {
  b->A::~X();            // error: A::X not considered
}
  1. At #1, A undergoes qualified lookup in B (+[basic.lookup.qual]/3).
  2. Because the terminal name (+[expr.prim.id.unqual]/2) of its nested-name-specifier is a (member-)qualified name (+[basic.lookup.qual]/2), X is looked up as A was (/5.1.2), which finds B::X.
  3. Since that is not the lookup context A, X is then tried as an unqualified name (/5.2), but that finds nothing.

Issues

Definitions

CWG554 is resolved by using the word “scope” instead of “declarative region”, consistent with its very common use in phrases like “namespace scope”. The other uses of “scope” are implied by the explicit unqualified lookup algorithm. CWG2165 is resolved by removing the conflicting definition of it in [basic.scope].

CWG405 is resolved by stating that argument-dependent lookup (sometimes) occurs after an ordinary unqualified lookup (making statements like “finding a variable prevents argument-dependent lookup” formally correct).

CWG36 (which has the dubious distinction of having the earliest recorded date) is resolved by limiting the restriction in question to class scopes, where ambiguous accessibility would be a problem, since a using-declaration does not introduce declarations. CWG418 is resolved by trivial rephrasing along with that necessary for the new using-declaration interpretation. CWG1960 (currently closed as NAD) is resolved by removing the rule in question (which is widely ignored by implementations and gives subtle interactions between using-declarations).

CWG1291 and CWG2396 are resolved by explicitly specifying how to look up names in a conversion-type-id.

CWG600 is resolved by explaining that accessibility affects naming a member in the sense of the ODR.

My proposed regularization of try-block containment in “Cases missed by P1825R0 (Merged wording for P0527R1 (Implicitly move from rvalue references in return statements) and P1155R3 (More implicit moves))” is included in rewording the relevant bullets.

Lookup completeness

CWG191 and CWG1200 are resolved by defining unqualified lookup in terms of every enclosing scope. CWG536 (long partially resolved) is resolved by specifying that unqualified lookup occurs for any kind of unqualified-id as an id-expression. CWG399 is resolved by explicitly appealing to the lookup for the last component of any suitable nested-name-specifier. CWG562 is resolved by defining lookup as occurring from a program point.

CWG1906 (currently closed as NAD, perhaps because its proposed resolution suffered in attempting to fit the structure of [basic.lookup.unqual] rejected by CWG191) and CWG2370 are resolved by Rachel’s regularization suggested in “Reconsidering CWG1906 and its friend CWG2370”, which may be in conflict with the CWG opinion from San Diego.

My proposed simplification for “Missing associated namespace for member template template arguments?” is incorporated on the assumption that the failure to examine the namespace of an associated class is an oversight. (GCC and ICC, but not Clang or MSVC, accept the example in that message.)

CWG1822 is resolved by specifying that the body of a lambda remains in the surrounding (function parameter) scope.

CWG1894 and its duplicate CWG2199 are resolved per Richard’s proposal for “dr407 still leaves open questions about typedef / tag hiding”, using generic conflicting-declaration rules even for typedef, and discarding a redundant typedef-name when looking up an elaborated-type-specifier.

The suggestion in [namespace.udir]/5 that declarations become available only after a namespace-definition is removed.

Jens’ interpretation of “On beyond CWG372” is included as a note (cf. Richard’s proposed restriction). CWG607 is resolved by looking up unqualified names in a mem-initializer-id from outside the parameter scope. CWG1837 is resolved by restricting this to referring to the innermost enclosing class.

CWG2007 is resolved by skipping unqualified lookup for operators that must be member functions. CWG255 (partially resolved by N3778 is resolved by generally specifying the restriction to usual deallocation functions.

Richard’s correction to template parameter scope for constrained template template parameters for “CWG186 is NAD (or ‘Resolved’)” is incorporated. His correction to function parameter scope for non-defining declarations in “Using a function parameter in a requires clause” is applied directly.

The missing point of declaration for a concept identified by Andrew in “recursive concepts” is supplied (without any prohibition on self-referential concepts).

Complete-class context

The intent for CWG2335 (contra those of the older CWG1890, CWG1626, CWG1255, and CWG287) is supported by retaining the unrestricted forward lookup in complete-class contexts (despite current implementation behavior for non-templates). CWG361 is partially resolved by that confirmation; the rest must be addressed along with CWG2335. CWG2331 is resolved by defining lookup from complete-class contexts and out-of-line member definitions. The rest of CWG2009 is resolved by making it ill-formed NDR for forward lookup outside a complete-class context to change the results (before overload resolution, to avoid differences in instantiation). A workaround for the practical issue of CWG325 is introduced by generalizing the template prefix to support lookup in an incomplete class. CWG1635 is partially resolved by also making template default arguments a complete-class context.

Declaration matching

My clarification in “Where can namespace-scope functions and variables be redeclared?” is applied, resolving CWG1821.

CWG1820 is resolved by requiring that a qualified declarator-id declare an entity. CWG386, CWG1839, CWG1818, CWG2058, CWG1900, and Richard’s observation in “are non-type names ignored in a class-head-name or enum-head-name?” are resolved by describing the limited lookup that occurs for a declarator-id, including the changes in Richard’s proposed resolution for CWG1839 (which also resolves CWG1818 and what of CWG2058 was not resolved along with CWG2059) and rejecting the example from CWG1477. Consistent linkage is preserved by strengthening [dcl.stc]/6. CWG138 is resolved according to N1229.

CWG563 is resolved by simplifications that follow its suggestions.

CWG110 is resolved by reducing the restriction in [temp.pre] to a note (matching the behavior of GCC, Clang, and ICC). CWG1898 is resolved by explicitly using the defined term parameter-type-list. CWG1884, CWG279, and CWG338 are resolved by defining entity identity explicitly. CWG1252 is resolved by defining it for member and non-member functions as consistently as is appropriate. The incomplete consideration of constraints identified by Barry in “Using-declaration with constrained members ([namespace.udecl]/14)” is addressed by reusing the general function identity definition. CWG2062 and CWG1896 are resolved by specifying consistency requirements for all entities.

Modules

Richard’s proposed resolution for “missing restriction on private-module-fragment” is incorporated.

Nathan’s question about export using in “using-declarations & {,!}export” is avoided by not introducing synonyms that might or might not be exported. Richard’s issue submission for using-declaration conflicts is resolved by combining the generic notions of “conflicts with” and “precedes”.

Parsing

CWG1828 is resolved by disfavoring the interpretation of :: as an entire nested-name-specifier. CWG1771 is resolved by describing the lookup of only an identifier preceding a :: (as in the suggested resolution for CWG1828).

My proposal for “‘Down with template!’” is incorporated by generalizing “type-id-only context” to “type-only context” and applying it to template as well as typename. CWG1835 is resolved by removing the special provision for ->/. identifier < in [basic.lookup.classref]/1, requiring that template be used to refer even to a non-member template in that position. CWG1908 is resolved per its suggestion of performing qualified lookup first and stopping if it produces a template-id, always taking < to indicate one (per Richard’s proposal for “On beyond CWG1908”). My further proposal for parsing a qualified-id in a dependent class member access is applied. My proposal for “grammar ambiguities with non-simple template-ids” is applied, allowing any kind of name to be considered to refer to a template, except for a conversion-function-id for which the rules would be more complicated despite never applying. CWG1841 is resolved by considering the injected-class-name of a class template to refer to a template.

CWG1616 is resolved by explicitly characterizing the forbidden case in terms of lookup results.

Templates

CWG459 is not affected: base classes are still searched in unqualified lookup before template parameters are considered.

CWG1936 is resolved by expanding the definition of “dependent name” to include qualified names (i.e., names previously said to be “a member of an unknown specialization”). CWG1500 is resolved by further expanding it to include any conversion-function-id with a dependent type (and clarifying that dependent lookup takes place after substitution). My proposed regularization of conversion-type-id interpretation (which includes resolving CWG2413) in “‘Down with template!’” and proposed rule for considering conversion function templates in “When are conversion function templates hidden?” are incorporated. The assumption that a dependent qualified name names a type is disabled inside a decltype or array bound. CWG1028 is resolved by moving the “lookup from first declaration” rule from [temp.over.link]/5 to [temp.res]/1. CWG1907 is resolved by forbidding dependence on default (template) arguments not found by lookup for a dependent name.

CWG1829 is resolved by checking for direct members of a class that is the current instantiation. Nathan’s proposal of making the name operator= dependent in “When are class template assignment operators declared?” is incorporated.

Prioritizing member lookup over unqualified lookup affirms that the templates in CWG1089 are not functionally equivalent, leaving the matter as a missing condition for them to not be equivalent. CWG1478 is resolved per my interpretation as independently suggested by Richard in “Implementation status of core issue 96”.

CWG2070 is resolved by specifying that a dependent using-declarator is considered to name a constructor if and only if it ends with B::B. CWG852 is resolved by explicitly mentioning using-declaration⁠s in class templates (and making it diagnosable in most cases to refer to a class that is definitely not a base).

CWG1545 is resolved by interpreting entire friend declarations upon instantiation of an enclosing template.

CWG2213 is resolved by allowing an elaborated-type-specifier to contain a simple-template-id without friend.

Richard’s simplification in “Deduction failures and template-ids” is applied as part of regularizing the interpretation of function names.

CWG271, long partially resolved by the addition of [temp.deduct.decl], is resolved by replacing the explicit mentions of function parameters with cross references to it.

Wording

Relative to N4861.

[intro.defs]

[defns.signature]

Change the definition (leaving the note):

signature
〈function〉 name, parameter-type-list ([dcl.fct]), and enclosing namespace (if any)

[defns.signature.templ]

Change:

signature
〈function template〉 name, parameter-type-list ([dcl.fct]), enclosing namespace (if any), return type, template-head, and trailing requires-clause ([dcl.decl]) (if any)

[lex.ext]

Change paragraph 2:

A user-defined-literal is treated as a call to a literal operator or literal operator template ([over.literal]). To determine the form of this call for a given user-defined-literal L with ud-suffix X, first let S be the set of declarations found by unqualified lookup for the literal-operator-id whose literal suffix identifier is X is looked up in the context of L using the rules for unqualified name lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]). Let S be the set of declarations found by this lookup. S shall not be empty.

[basic]

[basic.pre]

Change paragraph 4:

A name is a use of an identifier ([lex.name]), operator-function-id ([over.oper]), literal-operator-id ([over.literal]), or conversion-function-id ([class.conv.fct]), or template-id ([temp.names]) that denotes an entity or label ([stmt.goto], [stmt.label]).

Change paragraph 5:

Every name that denotes an entity is introduced by a declaration. Every name that denotes a label is introduced either by a goto statement ([stmt.goto]) or a labeled-statement ([stmt.label]), which is a

  1. declaration or member-declaration ([dcl.pre], [class.mem])
  2. init-declarator ([dcl.decl]),
  3. identifier in a structured binding declaration ([dcl.struct.bind]) or namespace-alias-definition ([namespace.alias]),
  4. condition with a declarator ([stmt.stmt]),
  5. member-declarator ([class.mem]),
  6. using-declarator ([namespace.udecl]),
  7. parameter-declaration ([dcl.fct]),
  8. type-parameter ([temp.param]),
  9. elaborated-type-specifier that introduces a name ([dcl.type.elab]),
  10. class-specifier ([class.pre]),
  11. enum-specifier or enumerator-definition ([dcl.enum]),
  12. exception-declaration ([except.pre])
  13. implicit declaration of an injected-class-name ([class.pre]).

[Note: The interpretation of a for-range-declaration produces one or more of the above ([stmt.ranged]). — end note] An entity E is denoted by the name (if any) that is introduced by a declaration of E or by a typedef-name introduced by a declaration specifying E.

Change paragraph 9:

Two names are the same if 1. they are identifier⁠s composed of the same character sequence, or 1. they are operator-function-id⁠s formed with the same operator, or 1. they are conversion-function-id⁠s formed with the sameequivalent ([temp.over.link]) types, or 1. they are template-id⁠s that refer to the same class, function, or variable ([temp.type]), or 1. they are literal-operator-id⁠s ([over.literal]) formed with the same literal suffix identifier.

[basic.def]

Change paragraph 1:

A declaration ([dcl.dcl]) may (re)introduce one or more names and/or entities into a translation unit or redeclare names introduced by previous declarations. If so, the declaration specifies the interpretation and semantic properties of these names. A declaration of an entity or typedef-name X is a redeclaration of X if another declaration of X is reachable from it ([module.reach]). […]

[basic.def.odr]

Change paragraph 4:

A variable is named by an expression if the expression is an id-expression that denotes it. A variable x whose named appears asby a potentially-evaluated expression E […]

[basic.scope]

[basic.scope.declarative]

Remove subclause, referring the old stable name to [basic.scope.scope] (added below). Remove the cross reference in [dcl.struct.bind]/1. Update the 2 surviving cross references (in [basic.def.odr]/9) to refer to [basic.scope.scope]. Replace the 8 surviving mentions of “declarative region” (in [basic.def.odr]/9, [expr.prim.id.unqual]/2, and [expr.prim.lambda.capture]/7) with “scope”.

General [basic.scope.scope]

Add subclause to front of [basic.scope], adapting a note and examples from [over.load] and [namespace.alias]/3:

The declarations in a program appear in a number of scopes that are in general discontiguous. The global scope contains the entire program; every other scope S is introduced by a declaration, parameter-declaration-clause, statement, or handler (as described in the following subclauses of [basic.scope]) appearing in another scope which is thereby the parent scope of S. An enclosing scope at a program point is any scope that contains it; the smallest such scope is said to be the immediate scope at that point. A scope intervenes between a program point P and a scope S (that does not contain P) if it is or contains S but does not contain P.

Unless otherwise specified:

  1. No two declarations (re)introduce the same entity.
  2. A declaration inhabits the immediate scope at its locus ([basic.scope.pdecl]).
  3. A declaration’s target scope is the scope it inhabits.
  4. Any names (re)introduced by a declaration are bound to it in its target scope.

An entity belongs to a scope S if S is the target scope of a declaration of the entity. [Note: Special cases include that:

  1. Corresponding declarations with appropriate linkage declare the same entity ([basic.link]).
  2. The declaration in a template-declaration inhabits the same scope as the template-declaration.
  3. Friend declarations and declarations of qualified names and template specializations do not bind names ([dcl.meaning]); those with qualified names target a specified scope, and other friend declarations and certain elaborated-type-specifier⁠s ([dcl.type.elab]) target a larger enclosing scope.
  4. Block-scope extern declarations target a larger enclosing scope but bind a name in their immediate scope.
  5. The names of unscoped enumerators are bound in the two innermost enclosing scopes ([dcl.enum]).
  6. A class’s name is also bound in its own scope ([class.pre]).
  7. The names of the members of an anonymous union are bound in the union’s parent scope ([class.union.anon]).

— end note]

Two declarations correspond if they (re)introduce the same name, both declare constructors, or both declare destructors, unless

  1. either is a using-declarator, or
  2. one declares a type (not a typedef-name) and the other declares a variable, non-static data member, enumerator, function, or function template, or
  3. each declares a function or function template, except when
    1. both declare functions with the same parameter-type-list[Footnote: An implicit object parameter ([over.match.funcs]) is not part of the parameter-type-list. — end footnote], equivalent ([temp.over.link]) trailing requires-clauses (if any, except as specified in [temp.friend]), and, if both are non-static members, the same cv-qualifiers (if any) and ref-qualifier (if both have one), or
    2. both declare function templates with equivalent parameter-type-lists, return types (if any), template-heads, and trailing requires-clauses (if any), and, if both are non-static members, the same cv-qualifiers (if any) and ref-qualifier (if both have one).

[Note: Declarations can correspond even if neither binds a name. [Example:

struct A {
  friend void f();    // #1
};
struct B {
  friend void f() {}  // corresponds to, and defines, #1
};

— end example] — end note] [Example:

typedef int Int;
enum E : int { a };
void f(int);       // #1
void f(Int) {}     // defines #1
void f(E) {}       // OK: overloads #1

struct X {
  static void f();
  void f() const;  // error: redeclaration
  void g();
  void g() const;  // OK
  void g() &;      // error: redeclaration
};

— end example]

Two declarations potentially conflict if they correspond and cause their shared name to denote different entities ([basic.link]). The program is ill-formed if, in any scope, a name is bound to two declarations that potentially conflict and one precedes the other ([basic.lookup]). [Note: Overload resolution can consider potentially conflicting declarations found in multiple scopes (e.g., via using-directives or for operator functions), in which case it is often ambiguous. — end note] [Example:

void f() {
  int x,y;
  void x();  // error: different entity for x
  int y;     // error: redefinition
}
enum { f };  // error: different entity for ::f
namespace A {}
namespace B = A;
namespace B = A;  // OK: no effect
namespace B = B;  // OK: no effect
namespace A = B;  // OK: no effect
namespace B {}    // error: different entity for B

— end example]

A declaration is nominable in a class, class template, or namespace E at a point P if it precedes P, does not inhabit a block scope, and its target scope is the scope associated with E or, if E is a namespace, any element of the inline namespace set of E ([namespace.def]). [Example:

namespace A {
  void f() {void g();}
  inline namespace B {
    struct S {
      friend void h();
      static int i;
    };
  }
}

At the end of this example, the declarations of f, B, S, and h are nominable in A, but those of g and i are not. — end example]

When instantiating a templated entity ([temp.pre]), any scope S introduced by any part of the template definition is considered to be introduced by the instantiated entity and to contain the instantiations of any declarations that inhabit S.

[basic.scope.pdecl]

Change each paragraph 1–12:

  1. The point of declaration forlocus of a namedeclaration ([basic.pre]) that is a declarator is immediately after itsthe complete declarator ([dcl.decl]) and before its initializer (if any), except as noted below. [Example:

The locus of a namespace-definition with an identifier is immediately after the identifier. [Note: An identifier is invented for an unnamed-namespace-definition ([namespace.unnamed]). — end note]

[Drafting note: There is no normative wording yet corresponding to the constraint-expression note. — end drafting note]

Change paragraph 13:

[Note: Friend declarations refer tomay introduce functions or classes that are members ofbelong to the nearest enclosing namespace or block scope, but they do not introduce newbind names into that namespaceanywhere ([namespace.memdefclass.friend]). Function declarations at block scope and variable declarations with the extern specifier at block scope refer to declarations that are members of andeclare entities that belong to the nearest enclosing namespace, but they do not introduce newbind names into that scopein it. — end note]

[basic.scope.block]

Replace contents, retaining the example:

Each

  1. selection or iteration statement ([stmt.select], [stmt.iter]),
  2. substatement of such a statement,
  3. handler ([except.pre]), or
  4. compound statement ([stmt.block]) that is not the compound-statement of a handler,

introduces a block scope that includes that statement or handler. [Note: A substatement that is also a block has only one scope. — end note] A variable that belongs to a block scope is a block variable.

Move the example from [stmt.for]/3 to here.

If a declaration whose target scope is the block scope S of a

  1. compound-statement of a lambda-expression, function-body, or function-try-block,
  2. substatement of a selection or iteration statement, or
  3. handler of a function-try-block

potentially conflicts with a declaration whose target scope is the parent scope of S, the program is ill-formed. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[basic.scope.param]

Replace contents:

A parameter-declaration-clause P introduces a function parameter scope that includes P. [Note: A function parameter cannot be used for its value within the parameter-declaration-clause ([dcl.fct.default]). — end note] If P is associated with a declarator and is preceded by a (possibly-parenthesized) noptr-declarator of the form declarator-id attribute-specifier-seqopt, its scope extends to the end of the nearest enclosing init-declarator, member-declarator, declarator of a parameter-declaration or a nodeclspec-function-declaration, or function-definition, but does not include the locus of the associated declarator. [Note: In this case, P declares the parameters of a function (or a function or template parameter declared with function type). A member function’s parameter scope is nested within its class’s scope. — end note] If P is associated with a lambda-declarator, its scope extends to the end of the compound-statement in the lambda-expression. If P is associated with a requirement-parameter-list, its scope extends to the end of the requirement-body of the requires-expression. If P is associated with a deduction-guide, its scope extends to the end of the deduction-guide.

[basic.funscope]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name (which has no cross references) to [stmt.label].

[basic.scope.namespace]

Replace contents, adapting the example from [namespace.def]/4:

Any namespace-definition for a namespace N introduces a namespace scope that includes the namespace-body for every namespace-definition for N. For each redeclaration or specialization whose target scope is or is contained by the scope, the portion after the declarator-id, class-head-name, or enum-head-name is also included in the scope. The global scope is the namespace scope of the global namespace ([basic.namespace]). [Example:

namespace Q {
  namespace V { void f(); }
  void V::f() {  // in the scope of V
    void h();    // declares Q::V::h
  }
}

— end example]

[basic.scope.class]

Replace contents:

Any declaration of a class or class template C introduces a class scope that includes the member-specification of the class-specifier for C (if any). For each redeclaration or specialization whose target scope is or is contained by the scope, the portion after the declarator-id, class-head-name, or enum-head-name is also included in the scope. [Note: Lookup from a program point before the class-specifier of a class will find no bindings in the class scope. [Example:

template<class D>
struct B {
  D::type x;  // error: C::type not found
};

struct A {using type=int;};
struct C : A,B<C> {};

— end example] — end note]

[basic.scope.enum]

Replace contents:

Any declaration of an enumeration E introduces an enumeration scope that includes the enumerator-list of the enum-specifier for E (if any).

[basic.scope.temp]

Replace contents:

Each template template-parameter introduces a template parameter scope that includes the template-head of the template-parameter.

Each template-declaration D introduces a template parameter scope that extends from the beginning of its template-parameter-list to the end of the template-declaration. Any declaration outside the template-parameter-list that would inhabit that scope instead inhabits the same scope as D. [Note: Therefore, only template parameters belong to a template parameter scope. — end note]

[basic.scope.hiding]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [basic.lookup].

[basic.lookup]

Change paragraph 1:

[…] Name lookup associates the use of a name with a set of declarations ([basic.def]) of that name. Unless otherwise specified, the program is ill-formed if no declarations are found. If the declarations found by name lookup all denote functions or function templates, the declarations are said to form an overload set. TheOtherwise, if the declarations found by name lookup shall eitherdo not all denote the same entity or form an overload set, they are ambiguous and the program is ill-formed. Overload resolution ([over.match], [over.over]) takes place after name lookup has succeeded. The access rules ([class.access]) are considered only once name lookup and function overload resolution (if applicable) have succeeded. Only after name lookup, function overload resolution (if applicable) and access checking have succeeded are the semantic properties introduced by the name’s declarations and its reachable ([module.reach]) redeclarations used in further in expression processing ([expr]).

Insert before paragraph 2:

A program point P follows any declaration in the same translation unit whose locus ([basic.scope.pdecl]) is before P. [Note: The declaration might appear in a scope that does not contain P. — end note]

A declaration X precedes a program point P in a translation unit L if P follows X, X inhabits a class scope and is reachable from P, or else X appears in a translation unit D and

  1. P follows a module-import-declaration or module-declaration that imports D (directly or indirectly), and
  2. X appears after the module-declaration in D (if any) and before the private-module-fragment in D (if any), and
  3. either X is exported or D and L are part of the same module, and
  4. X does not inhabit a namespace with internal linkage or declare a name with internal linkage. [Note: Names declared by a using-declaration have no linkage. — end note]

Move the note (and example) from [basic.scope.namespace]/2 to the end of this paragraph.

Remove paragraphs 2 through 4.

Append paragraphs:

A single search in a scope S for a name N from a program point P finds all declarations that precede P to which any name that is the same as N ([basic.pre]) is bound in S. If any such declaration is a using-declarator whose terminal name ([expr.prim.id.unqual]) is not dependent ([temp.dep.type]), it is replaced by the declarations named by the using-declarator ([namespace.udecl]).

In certain contexts, only certain kinds of declarations are included. After any such restriction, any declarations of classes or enumerations are discarded if any other declarations are found. [Note: A type (but not a typedef-name or template) is therefore hidden by any other entity in its scope. — end note] However, if a lookup is type-only, only declarations of types and templates whose specializations are types are considered; furthermore, if declarations of a typedef-name and of the type to which it refers are found, the declaration of the typedef-name is discarded instead of the type declaration.

[class.member.lookup]

Move to front of [basic.lookup], editing as follows:

Remove paragraph 1.

Change paragraph 2:

TheA search in a scope C for a name N from a program point P is a single search in C for N from P unless C is a class or class template, in which case the following steps define the result of a member name f in a class scope Cthe search. [Note: The result differs only if N is a conversion-function-id or if the single search would find nothing. — end note]

Replace f with N and C with C in the following paragraphs.

Change paragraph 3:

The lookup set for fN in CC, called S(fN,C), consists of two component sets: the declaration set, a set of members named fN; and the subobject set, a set of subobjects where declarations of these members (possibly including using-declaration⁠s) were found (possibly via using-declaration⁠s). In the declaration set, using-declaration⁠s are replaced by the set of designated members that are not hidden or overridden by members of the derived class ([namespace.udecl]), and type declarations (including injected-class-names) are replaced by the types they designate. S(fN,C) is calculated as follows:

Change paragraph 4:

If C contains a declaration of the name f, the declaration set contains every declaration of f declared in C that satisfies the requirements of the language construct in which the lookup occurs. The declaration set is the result of a single search in C for N from immediately after the class-specifier of C if P is in a complete-class context of C or from P otherwise. [Note: […] — end note] […]

[Drafting note: The plan for CWG2335 is to describe forbidden dependency cycles among the complete-class contexts of a class. — end drafting note]

Change paragraph 5:

[…] If C has base classes, cCalculate the lookup set for fN in each direct non-dependent ([temp.dep.type]) base class subobject Bi, and merge each such lookup set S(fN,Bi) in turn into S(fN,C). [Note: If C is incomplete, only base classes whose base-specifier appears before P are considered. If C is an instantiated class, its base classes are not dependent. — end note]

Change paragraph 7:

The result of name lookup for f in Cthe search is the declaration set of S(fN,C). If it is an invalid set, the program is ill-formed. If it differs from the result of a search in C for N from immediately after the class-specifier of C, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required. [Example:

[…]

S(xx,FF) is unambiguous because the A and B base class subobjects of D are also base class subobjects of E, so S(xx,DD) is discarded in the first merge step. — end example]

Replace paragraph 8:

If N is a non-dependent conversion-function-id, conversion function templates that are members of C are considered. For each such template T, the lookup set S(t,C) is constructed, considering a function template declaration to have the name t only if it corresponds to a declaration of T ([basic.scope.scope]). The members of the declaration set of each such lookup set, which shall not be an invalid set, are included in the result. [Note: Overload resolution will discard those that cannot convert to the type specified by N ([temp.over]). — end note]

[basic.lookup.unqual]

Replace contents (including the existing paragraph 16 at the end):

A using-directive is active in a scope S at a program point P if it precedes P and inhabits either S or the scope of a namespace nominated by a using-directive that is active in S at P. [Note: A using-directive is exported if and only if it appears in a header unit. — end note]

An unqualified search in a scope S from a program point P includes the results of searches from P in

  1. S, and
  2. for any scope U that contains P and is or is contained by S, each namespace contained by S that is nominated by a using-directive that is active in U at P.

If no declarations are found, the results of the unqualified search are the results of an unqualified search in the parent scope of S, if any, from P. [Note: When a class scope is searched, the scopes of its base classes are also searched ([class.member.lookup]). If it inherits from a single base, it is as if the scope of the base immediately contains the scope of the derived class. — end note]

Unqualified name lookup from a program point performs an unqualified search in its immediate scope.

An unqualified name is a name that does not follow a nested-name-specifier or the . or -> in a class member access expression ([expr.ref]), possibly after a template keyword or ~. Unless otherwise specified, such a name undergoes unqualified name lookup from the point where it appears.

An unqualified name that is a component name ([expr.prim.id.unqual]) of a type-specifier or ptr-operator of a conversion-type-id is looked up in the same fashion as the conversion-function-id in which it appears. If that lookup finds nothing, it undergoes unqualified name lookup; in each case, only names that denote types or templates whose specializations are types are considered.

In a friend declaration, lookup for an unqualified name that appears in a declarator after a declarator-id with a nested-name-specifier that names a class, class template, or namespace S performs an unqualified search in S. If that lookup finds nothing, it undergoes unqualified name lookup.

[Note: The rules for name lookup in template definitions are described in [temp.res]. — end note]

[basic.lookup.argdep]

Change paragraph 1:

When the postfix-expression in a function call ([expr.call]) is an unqualified-id, andother namespaces not considered during the usual unqualified lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]) may be searched, and in those namespaces, namespace-scope friend function or function template declarations ([class.friend]) not otherwise visible may be found. These modifications to the searchfor the name in the unqualified-id does not find any

  1. declaration of a class member, or
  2. function declaration inhabiting a block scope, or
  3. declaration not of a function or function template

then lookup for the name also includes the result of argument-dependent lookup in a set of associated namespaces that depends on the types of the arguments (and for template template arguments, the namespace of the template argument), as specified below. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Move the note from [basic.lookup.unqual]/3 here, inserting it before paragraph 2.

Change paragraph 2:

For each argument type T in the function call, there is a set of zero or more associated namespaces and a set of zero or more associated entities (other than namespaces) to be considered. The sets of namespaces and entities areis determined entirely by the types of the function arguments (and the namespace of any template template arguments). Typedef names and using-declaration⁠s used to specify the types do not contribute to this set. The sets of namespaces and entities areis determined in the following way:

  1. If T is a fundamental type, its associated sets of namespaces and entities are bothis empty.
  2. If T is a class type (including unions), its associated entities are: the class itself; the class of which it is a member, if any; and its direct and indirect base classes. Its associated namespaces are the innermost enclosing namespaces of its associated entities. Furthermore, if T is a class template specialization, its associated namespaces and entities also include: the namespaces and entities associated with the types of the template arguments provided for template type parameters (excluding template template parameters); the templates used as template template arguments; the namespaces of which any template template arguments are members; and the classes of which any member templates used as template template arguments are members. [Note: Non-type template arguments do not contribute to the set of associated namespacesentities. — end note]
  3. If T is an enumeration type, its associated namespace is the innermost enclosing namespace of its declaration, and its associated entities are T and, if it is a class member, the member’s class.
  4. If T is a pointer to U or an array of U, its associated namespaces and entities are those associated with U.
  5. If T is a function type, its associated namespaces and entities are those associated with the function parameter types and those associated with the return type.
  6. If T is a pointer to a member function of a class X, its associated namespaces and entities are those associated with the function parameter types and return type, together with those associated with X.
  7. If T is a pointer to a data member of class X, its associated namespaces and entities are those associated with the member type together with those associated with X.

If an associated namespace is an inline namespace ([namespace.def]), its enclosing namespace is also included in the set. If an associated namespace directly contains inline namespaces, those inline namespaces are also included in the set. In addition, if the argument is the name or address of an overload set or the address of such a set, its associated entities and namespaces are the union of those associated with each of the members of the set, i.e., the entities and namespaces associated with its parameter types and return type. Additionally, if the aforementioned overload set is named with a template-id, its associated entities and namespaces also include those of its type template-argument⁠s and its template template-argument⁠s and those associated with its type template-argument⁠s.

Change paragraph 3 and move it to the end of the subclause:

Let X be the lookup set produced by unqualified lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]) and let Y be the lookup set produced by argument dependent lookup (defined as follows). If X contains

  1. a declaration of a class member, or
  2. a block-scope function declaration that is not a using-declaration, or
  3. a declaration that is neither a function nor a function template

then Y is empty. Otherwise Y is the set of declarations found in the namespaces associated with the argument types as described below. The set of declarations found by the lookup of the name is the union of X and Y. [Note: The associated namespaces and entities associated with the argument types can include namespaces and entities already considered by the ordinary unqualified lookup. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 4:

When considering anThe associated namespaces for a call are the innermost enclosing non-inline namespaces for its associated entities as well as every element of the inline namespace set of those namespaces. Argument-dependent lookup finds all declarations of functions and function templates that

  1. are found by a search of any associated namespace N, the lookup is the same as the lookup performed when N is used as a qualifier ([namespace.qual]) except that:or
  2. Any using-directive⁠s in N are ignored.
  3. All names except those of (possibly overloaded) functions and function templates are ignored.
  4. Any namespace-scopeare declared as a friend functions or friend function templates ([class.friend]) declared inof any classes with a reachable definitions in the set of associated entities are visible within their respective namespaces even if they are not visible during an ordinary lookup ([namespace.memdef])., or
  5. Anyare exported declaration D in N declared within the purview of, are attached to a named module M ([module.interface]) is visible if there is, do not appear in the translation unit containing the point of the lookup, and have the same innermost enclosing non-inline namespace scope as a declaration of an associated entity attached to M with the same innermost enclosing non-inline namespace as D.

5. If the lookup is for a dependent name ([temp.dep], [temp.dep.candidate]), any declaration D in N is visible if D would be visible to qualified name lookup ([namespace.qual]) at anythe above lookup is also performed from each point in the instantiation context ([module.context]) of the lookup, unless D is declaredadditionally ignoring any declaration that appears in another translation unit, is attached to the global module, and is either discarded ([module.global.frag]) or has internal linkage.

[basic.lookup.qual]

Change paragraph 1:

The name of a class or namespace member or enumerator can be referred to after the :: scope resolution operator ([expr.prim.id.qual]) applied to a nested-name-specifier that denotes its class, namespace, or enumeration. IfLookup of an identifier followed by a :: scope resolution operator in a nested-name-specifier is not preceded by a decltype-specifier, lookup of the name preceding that :: considers only namespaces, types, and templates whose specializations are types. If the name found does nota name, template-id, or decltype-specifier is followed by a ::, it shall designate a namespace or a, class, enumeration, or dependent type, the program is ill-formedand the :: is never interpreted as a complete nested-name-specifier. [Example:

class A {
public:
  static int n;
};
int main() {
  int A;
  A::n = 42;        // OK
  A b;              // error: A does not name a type
}
template struct B : A {};
namespace N {
  template void B();
  int f() {return B<0>::n;}  // error: N::B<0> is not a type
}

— end example]

Insert before paragraph 2:

A member-qualified name is the (unique) component name ([expr.prim.id.unqual]), if any, of

  1. an unqualified-id, or
  2. a nested-name-specifier of the form type-name :: or namespace-name ::,

in the id-expression of a class member access expression ([expr.ref]). A qualified name is a member-qualified name or the terminal name of a qualified-id, a using-declarator, a typename-specifier, a qualified-namespace-specifier, or a nested-name-specifier, elaborated-type-specifier, or class-or-decltype that has a nested-name-specifier ([expr.prim.id.qual]). The lookup context of a member-qualified name is the type of its associated object expression (considered dependent if the object expression is type-dependent). The lookup context of any other qualified name is the type, template, or namespace nominated by the preceding nested-name-specifier. [Note: When parsing a class member access, the name following the -> or . is a qualified name even though it is not yet known of which kind. — end note] [Example: In

N::C::m.Base::f()

Base is a member-qualified name; the other qualified names are C, m, and f. — end example]

Qualified name lookup in a class, namespace, or enumeration performs a search of the scope associated with it ([class.member.lookup]) except as specified below. Unless otherwise specified, a qualified name undergoes qualified name lookup in its lookup context from the point where it appears unless the lookup context either is dependent and is not the current instantiation ([temp.dep.type]) or is not a class or class template. If nothing is found by qualified lookup for a member-qualified name that is the terminal name of a nested-name-specifier and is not dependent, it undergoes unqualified lookup. [Note: During lookup for a template specialization, no names are dependent. — end note] [Example:

int f();
struct A {
  int B,C;
  template<int> using D=void;
  using T=void;
  void f();
};
using B=A;
template<int> using C=A;
template<int> using D=A;
template<int> using X=A;

template<class T>
void g(T *p) {            // as instantiated for g<A>:
  p->X<0>::f();           // error: A::X not found in ((p->X) < 0) > ::f()
  p->template X<0>::f();  // OK: ::X found in definition context
  p->B::f();              // OK: non-type A::B ignored
  p->template C<0>::f();  // error: A::C is not a template
  p->template D<0>::f();  // error: A::D<0> is not a class type
  p->T::f();              // error: A::T is not a class type
}
template void g(A*);

— end example]

Remove paragraphs 3 through 5.

Change paragraph 6:

In a qualified-id of the form:

nested-name-specifieropt type-name :: ~ type-name

the second type-name is looked up in the same scope as the first. If the qualified name follows a ~:

  1. If the qualified name is not a member-qualified name:
    1. Its nested-name-specifier shall nominate a type.
    2. If the terminal name of the nested-name-specifier is a qualified name, the identifier is looked up in the same fashion as that name.
    [Note: Otherwise, the qualified name is looked up normally. — end note]
  2. If lookup for the identifier finds nothing or finds it to be a type-name that does not refer to the lookup context (ignoring cv-qualification), it instead undergoes unqualified lookup.
  3. Each lookup for the identifier considers only types (if the identifier is not followed by a <) and templates whose specializations are types.
  4. The type-name that is or contains the identifier shall ultimately refer to the lookup context (ignoring cv-qualification).
[Example:
struct C {
  typedef int I;
  typedef float I2;
};
typedef int I1, I2;
extern int* p;
extern int* q;
void f() {
  p->C::I::~I2();      // after finding C::I2 is, unqualified looked up in the scope of Cfinds ::I2
  q->I1::~I2();       // I2 isundergoes unqualified looked up in the scope of the postfix-expression
}

struct A {
  ~A();
};
typedef A AB;
int main() {
  AB* p;
  p->AB::~AB();     // explicitly calls the destructor for A
}

— end example] [Note: [basic.lookup.classref] describes how name lookup proceeds after the . and -> operators. — end note]

[class.qual]
Remove paragraph 1.

Change paragraph 2:

In a lookup for a qualified name whose lookup context is a class C in which function names are not ignored[…] and the nested-name-specifier nominates a class C:

  1. if the name specified after the nested-name-specifier, when looked up in C, issearch finds the injected-class-name of C ([class.pre]), or
  2. inif the qualified name is dependent and is the terminal name of a using-declarator of a using-declaration ([namespace.udecl]) that is a member-declaration, if the name specified after the nested-name-specifier is the same as the identifier or the simple-template-id’s template-name in the last component of the nested-name-specifiernames a constructor,

the name is instead considered to name the constructor of class C. [Note: For example, the constructor is not an acceptable lookup result in an elaborated-type-specifier so the constructor would not be used in place of the injected-class-name. — end note] Such a constructor name shall be used only in the declarator-id of a (friend) declaration that namesof a constructor or in a using-declaration. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Remove paragraph 3.
[namespace.qual]

Remove paragraphs 1 and 2.

Replace paragraph 3, retaining its example:

Qualified name lookup in a namespace N additionally searches every element of the inline namespace set of N ([namespace.def]). If nothing is found, the results of the lookup are the results of qualified name lookup in each namespace nominated by a using-directive that precedes the point of the lookup and inhabits N or an element of its inline namespace set. [Note: If a using-directive refers to a namespace that has already been considered, it does not affect the result. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 6:

During the lookup of a qualified namespace member name, if the lookup finds more than one declaration of the member, and if one declaration introduces a c[Note: Class name orand enumeration name and thedeclarations are not discarded because of other declarations introduce either the same variable, the same enumerator, or a set of functions, the non-type name hides the class or enumeration name if and only if the declarations are from the same namespace; otherwise (the declarations are from different namespaces), the program is ill-formedfound in other searches. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Remove paragraph 7.

[basic.lookup.elab]

Remove paragraphs 1 and 2.

Insert before paragraph 3:

If the class-key or enum keyword in an elaborated-type-specifier is followed by an identifier that is not followed by ::, lookup for the identifier is type-only. [Note: In general, the recognition of an elaborated-type-specifier depends on the following tokens. If the identifier is followed by ::, see [basic.lookup.qual]. — end note]

Change paragraph 3:

If the terminal name of the elaborated-type-specifier hasis a nested-name-specifier, qualified name lookup is performed, as described in [basic.lookup.qual], but ignoring any non-type names that have been declared, lookup for it is type-only. If the name lookup does not find a previously declared type-name, the elaborated-type-specifier is ill-formed.

[basic.lookup.classref]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [basic.lookup.qual].

Change paragraph 3:

AThe name havingof an entity that belongs to a namespace scope ([basic.scope.namespace]) has internal linkage if it is the name of

[…]

Change paragraph 5:

In addition, a member function, static data member, a named class or enumeration ofthat inhabits a class scope, or an unnamed class or enumeration defined in a class-scope typedef declaration that inhabits a class scope such that the class or enumeration has the typedef name for linkage purposes ([dcl.typedef]), has the same linkage, if any, as the name of the class of which it is a member.

Change paragraph 6:

The name of a function declared in block scope and the name of a variable declared by a block scope extern declaration have linkage. If such a declaration is attached to a named module, the program is ill-formed. If there is a visible declaration of an entity with linkage, ignoring entities declared outside the innermost enclosing namespace scope, such that the block scope declaration would be a (possibly ill-formed) redeclaration if the two declarations appeared in the same declarative region, the block scope declaration declares that same entity and receives the linkage of the previous declaration. If there is more than one such matching entity, the program is ill-formed. Otherwise, if no matching entity is found, the block scope entity receives external linkage. If, within a translation unit, the same entity is declared with both internal and external linkage, the program is ill-formed. [Example:
static void f();
extern "C" void h();
static int i = 0;               // #1
void gq() {
  extern void f();              // internal linkage
  extern void g();              // ::g, external linkage
  extern void h();              // C language linkage
  int i;                        // #2: i has no linkage
  {
    extern void f();            // internal linkage
    extern int i;               // #3: exinternal linkage, ill-formed
  }
}

WithoutEven though the declaration at line #2 hides the declaration at line #1, the declaration at line #3 would link with thestill redeclarationes at line #1. Because the declaration with and receives internal linkage is hidden, however, #3 is given external linkage, making the program ill-formed. — end example]

Remove paragraph 7 (whose example is moved to [dcl.meaning]).

Replace paragraph 9:

Two declarations of entities declare the same entity if, considering declarations of unnamed types to introduce their names for linkage purposes, if any ([dcl.typedef], [dcl.enum]), they correspond ([basic.scope.scope]), have the same target scope that is not a function or template parameter scope, and either

  1. they appear in the same translation unit, or
  2. they both declare names with module linkage and are attached to the same module, or
  3. they both declare names with external linkage.

[Note: There are other circumstances in which declarations declare the same entity ([dcl.link], [temp.type], [temp.class.spec]). — end note]

Change paragraph 10:

If a declaration would redeclare a reachabletwo declarations of an entity are attached to a different modules, the program is ill-formed; no diagnostic is required if neither is reachable from the other. [Example:

[…]

— end example] As a consequence of these rules, all declarations of an entity are attached to the same module; the entity is said to be attached to that module.

Change paragraph 11:

For any two declarations of an entity:

  1. If one declares it to be a variable or function, the other shall declare it as one of the same type.
  2. If one declares it to be an enumerator, the other shall do so.
  3. If one declares it to be a namespace, the other shall do so.
  4. If one declares it to be a type, the other shall declare it to be a type of the same kind ([dcl.type.elab]).
  5. If one declares it to be a class template, the other shall do so with the same kind and an equivalent template-head ([temp.over.link]). [Note: The declarations may supply different default template arguments. — end note]
  6. If one declares it to be a function template or a (partial specialization of a) variable template, the other shall declare it to be one with an equivalent template-head and type.
  7. If one declares it to be an alias template, the other shall declare it to be one with an equivalent template-head and defining-type-id.
  8. If one declares it to be a concept, the other shall do so.

Types are compared aAfter all adjustments of types (during which typedefs ([dcl.typedef]) are replaced by their definitions), the types specified by all declarations referring to a given variable or function shall be identical, except that; declarations for an array object can specify array types that differ by the presence or absence of a major array bound ([dcl.array]). A violation of this rule on type identity does not require aNo diagnostic is required if neither declaration is reachable from the other. [Example:

int f(int x,int x);  // error: different entities for x
void g();            // #1
void g(int);         // OK: different entity from #1
int g();             // error: same entity as #1 with different type
void h();            // #2
namespace h {}       // error: same entity as #2, but not a function

[basic.life]

Change the footnote in paragraph 6:

For example, before the construction of a global object that is initialized via a user-provided constructordynamic initialization of an object with static storage duration ([class.cdtorbasic.start.dynamic]).

[basic.stc]

[basic.stc.static]

Change paragraph 3:

The keyword static can be used to declare a localblock variable with static storage duration. [Note: [stmt.dcl] and [basic.start.term] describes the initialization of local static variables; [basic.start.term] describes theand destruction of local staticsuch variables. — end note]

[basic.stc.auto]

Change paragraph 1:

Block-scope vVariables that belong to a block or parameter scope and are not explicitly declared static, thread_local, or extern have automatic storage duration. The storage for these entities lasts until the block in which they are created exits.

[basic.type.qualifier]

Change paragraph 4:

[Note: See [dcl.fct] and [class.thisover.match.funcs] regarding function types that have cv-qualifier⁠s. — end note]

[basic.start]

[basic.start.main]

Change paragraph 3:

The function main shall not be used within a program. The linkage ([basic.link]) of main is implementation-defined. A program that defines main as deleted or that declares main to be inline, static, or constexpr is ill-formed. The function main shall not be a coroutine ([dcl.fct.def.coroutine]). The main function shall not be declared with a linkage-specification ([dcl.link]). A program that declares a variable main atthat belongs to the global scope, or that declares a function main atthat belongs to the global scope and is attached to a named module, or that declares thean entity named main with C language linkage (in any namespace) is ill-formed. The name main is not otherwise reserved. [Example: Member functions, classes, and enumerations can be called main, as can entities in other namespaces. — end example]

[basic.start.static]

Change paragraph 2:

[…][Note: The dynamic initialization of non-localblock variables is described in [basic.start.dynamic]; that of local static block variables is described in [stmt.dcl]. — end note]

Dynamic initialization of non-localblock variables [basic.start.dynamic]

Replace all occurrences of “non-local variable” with “non-block variable” (including in the name of the subclause).

[basic.start.term]

Change paragraph 3:

[…] If an object is initialized statically, the object is destroyed in the same order as if the object was dynamically initialized. For an object of array or class type, all subobjects of that object are destroyed before any block-scope object variable with static storage duration initialized during the construction of the subobjects is destroyed. If the destruction of an object with static or thread storage duration exits via an exception, the function std::terminate is called ([except.terminate]).

Change paragraph 4:

If a function contains a block-scope object variable of static or thread storage duration that has been destroyed and the function is called during the destruction of an object with static or thread storage duration, the program has undefined behavior if the flow of control passes through the definition of the previously destroyed block-scope object variable. [Note: Likewise, the behavior is undefined if the block-scope object variable is used indirectly (i.e.e.g., through a pointer) after its destruction. — end note]

[expr]

[expr.prim]

[expr.prim.this]

Change paragraph 1:

The keyword this names a pointer to the object for which a non-static member function ([class.thismfct.non-static]) is invoked or a non-static data member’s initializer ([class.mem]) is evaluated.

Insert before paragraph 2:

The current class at a program point is the class associated with the innermost class scope containing that point. [Note: A lambda-expression does not introduce a class scope. — end note]

Change paragraph 2:

If a declaration declares a member function or member function template of a class X, the expression this is a prvalue of type “pointer to cv-qualifier-seq X wherever X is the current class between the optional cv-qualifier-seq and the end of the function-definition, member-declarator, or declarator. It shall not appear before the optional cv-qualifier-seq and it shall not appear within the declaration of a static member function of the current class (although its type and value category are defined within a static member function as they are within a non-static member function). [Note: This is because declaration matching does not occur until the complete declarator is known. — end note] [Note: In a trailing-return-type, the class being defined is not required to be complete for purposes of class member access ([expr.ref]). Class members declared later are not visible. [Example:

[…]

— end example] — end note]

Change paragraph 3:

Otherwise, if a member-declarator declares a non-static data member ([class.mem]) of a class X, the expression this is a prvalue of type “pointer to X wherever X is the current class within the optional default member initializer ([class.mem]). It shall not appear elsewhere in the member-declarator.

[expr.prim.id]

Insert before paragraph 2:

If an id-expression E denotes a member M of an anonymous union ([class.union.anon]) U:

  1. If U is a non-static data member, E refers to M as a member of the lookup context of the terminal name of E (after any transformation to a class member access expression ([class.mfct.non-static])). [Example: o.x is interpreted as o.u.x, where u names the anonymous union member. — end example]
  2. Otherwise, E is interpreted as a class member access ([expr.ref]) that designates the member subobject M of the anonymous union variable for U. [Note: Under this interpretation, E no longer denotes a non-static data member. — end note][Example: N::x is interpreted as N::u.x, where u names the anonymous union variable. — end example]
[expr.prim.id.unqual]

Insert before paragraph 2:

A component name of an unqualified-id U is U if it is a name or the component name of the template-id or type-name of U, if any. [Note: Other constructs that contain names to look up can have several component names ([expr.prim.id.qual], [dcl.type.simple], [dcl.type.elab], [dcl.mptr], [namespace.udecl], [temp.param], [temp.names], [temp.res]). — _end note_] The terminal name of a construct is the component name of that construct that appears lexically last.

Change paragraph 2:

The result is the entity denoted by the identifierunqualified-id ([basic.lookup.unqual]). If the entity is a local entity […]

[expr.prim.id.qual]

Insert before paragraph 1:

The component names of a qualified-id are those of its nested-name-specifier and unqualified-id. The component names of a nested-name-specifier are its identifier (if any) and those of its type-name, namespace-name, simple-template-id, and/or nested-name-specifier.

A nested-name-specifier is declarative if it is part of

  1. a class-head-name,
  2. an enum-head-name,
  3. a qualified-id that is the id-expression of a declarator-id, or
  4. a declarative nested-name-specifier.

A declarative nested-name-specifier shall not have a decltype-specifier. A declaration that uses a declarative nested-name-specifier shall be a friend declaration or inhabit a scope that contains the entity being redeclared or specialized.

Change paragraph 1:

The nested-name-specifier :: nominates the global namespace. The type denoted byA nested-name-specifier with a decltype-specifier in a nested-name-specifiernominates the type denoted by the decltype-specifier, which shall be a class or enumeration type. If a nested-name-specifier N is declarative and has a simple-template-id with a template argument list A that involves a template parameter, let T be the template nominated by N without A. T shall be a class template.

  1. If A is the template argument list ([temp.arg]) of the corresponding template-head H ([temp.mem]), N nominates the primary template of T; H shall be equivalent to the template-head of T ([temp.over.link]).
  2. Otherwise, N nominates the partial specialization ([temp.class.spec]) of T whose template argument list is equivalent to A ([temp.over.link]); the program is ill-formed if no such partial specialization exists.

Any other nested-name-specifier nominates the entity denoted by its type-name, namespace-name, identifier, or simple-template-id. If the nested-name-specifier is not declarative, the entity shall not be a template.

Insert before paragraph 2:

A qualified-id shall not be of the form nested-name-specifier templateopt ~ decltype-specifier nor of the form decltype-specifier :: ~ type-name.

Change paragraph 2:

A nested-name-specifier that denotes a class, optionally followed by the keyword template ([temp.names]), and then followed by the name of a member of either that class ([class.mem]) or one of its base classes ([class.derived]), is a qualified-id; [class.qual] describes name lookup for class members that appear in qualified-id⁠s. The result of a qualified-id is the memberentity it denotes ([basic.lookup.qual]). The type of the resultexpression is the type of the memberresult. The result is an lvalue if the member is a function, a variable, a structured binding ([dcl.struct.bind]), a static member function, or a data member and a prvalue otherwise. [Note: A class member can be referred to using a qualified-id at any point in its potential scope ([basic.scope.class]). — end note] Where type-name ::~ type-name is used, the two type-name⁠s shall refer to the same type (ignoring cv-qualifications); this notation denotes the destructor of the type so named ([expr.prim.id.dtor]). The unqualified-id in a qualified-id shall not be of the form ~decltype-specifier.

Remove paragraphs 3 through 5.

[expr.prim.lambda]

[expr.prim.lambda.closure]

Change paragraph 4:

[…] [Note: Names referenced in the lambda-declarator are looked up in the context in which the lambda-expression appears. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 12:

The lambda-expression’s compound-statement yields the function-body ([dcl.fct.def]) of the function call operator, but for purposes of name lookup ([basic.lookup]), determining the type and value of this ([class.this]) and transforming id-expression⁠s referring to non-static class members into class member access expressions using (*this) ([class.mfct.non-static]), the compound-statement is considered in the context of the lambda-expressionit is not within the scope of the closure type. [Example:

[…]

— end example] Further, a variable __func__ is implicitly defined at the beginning of the compound-statement of the lambda-expression, with semantics as described in [dcl.fct.def.general].

[expr.prim.lambda.capture]

Change paragraph 6:

An init-capture without ellipsis behaves as if it declares and explicitly captures a variable of the form “auto init-capture ;whose declarative region isin the lambda-expression’s compound-statement and captures it, except that:

[…]

Change paragraph 17:

A simple-capture containing an ellipsis is a pack expansion ([temp.variadic]). An init-capture containing an ellipsis is a pack expansion that introducesdeclares an init-capture pack ([temp.variadic]) whose declarative region isin the lambda-expression’s compound-statement. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[expr.prim.req]

Change the grammar in paragraph 1:

[…]

requirement-parameter-list:

( parameter-declaration-clauseopt )

[…]

Change paragraph 4:

A requires-expression may introduce local parameters using a parameter-declaration-clause ([dcl.fct]). A local parameter of a requires-expression shall not have a default argument. Each name introduced by a local parameter is in scope from the point of its declaration until the closing brace of the requirement-body. These parameters have no linkage, storage, or lifetime; they are only used as notation for the purpose of defining requirements. […]

Remove paragraph 5.

[expr.post]

[expr.call]

Change paragraph 7:

[…] If the function is a non-static member function, the this parameter of the function ([classexpr.prim.this]) is initialized with a pointer to the object of the call, converted as if by an explicit type conversion ([expr.cast]). […]

[expr.ref]

Change paragraph 1:

A postfix expression followed by a dot . or an arrow ->, optionally followed by the keyword template ([temp.names]), and then followed by an id-expression, is a postfix expression. The postfix expression before the dot or arrow is evaluated;[…] the result of that evaluation, together with the id-expression, determines the result of the entire postfix expression. [Note: If the keyword template is used, the following unqualified name is considered to refer to a template ([temp.names]). If a simple-template-id results and is followed by a ::, the id-expression is a qualified-id. — end note]

Change paragraph 4:

Otherwise, the object expression shall be of class type. The class type shall be complete unless the class member access appears in the definition of that class. [Note: If the class is incomplete, lookup inThe program is ill-formed if the result differs from that when the class is complete class type is required to refer to the same declaration ([basic.scope.class.member.lookup]). — end note] The id-expression shall name a member of the class or of one of its base classes. [Note: Because the name of a class is inserted in its class scope ([class]), the name of a class is also considered a nested member of that class. — end note] [Note: [basic.lookup.classrefqual] describes how names are looked up after the . and -> operators. — end note]

[expr.unary]

[expr.await]

Change paragraph 2:

[…] An await-expression shall not appear in the initializer of a block-scope variable with static or thread storage duration. A context within a function where an await-expression can appear is called a suspension context of the function.

Change bullet (3.2):

a is the cast-expression ifUnless the await-expression was implicitly produced by a yield-expression ([expr.yield]), an initial suspend point, or a final suspend point ([dcl.fct.def.coroutine]). Otherwise, a search is performed for the unqualified-idname await_transform is looked up within the scope of P by class member access lookup ([basic.class.member.lookup.classref]), and i. If this lookupsearch is performed and finds at least one declaration, then a is p.await_transform(cast-expression); otherwise, a is the cast-expression.

[expr.new]

Change paragraph 11:

If the new-expression does not begins with a unary :: operator, the allocation function’s name is looked up in the global scope. Otherwise, if and the allocated type is a class type T or array thereof, a search is performed for the allocation function’s name is looked up in the scope of T ([class.member.lookup]). If this lookup fails to find the name, or if the allocated type is not a class typeOtherwise, or if nothing is found, the allocation function’s name is looked up by searching for it in the global scope.

Change paragraph 26:

If the new-expression does not begins with a unary :: operator, the deallocation function’s name is looked up in the global scope. Otherwise, if and the allocated type is a class type T or an array thereof, a search is performed for the deallocation function’s name is looked up in the scope of T. If this lookup fails to find the name, or if the allocated type is not a class type or array thereofOtherwise, or if nothing is found, the deallocation function’s name is looked up by searching for it in the global scope.

[expr.delete]

Change paragraph 8:

If a deallocation function is called, it is operator delete for a single-object delete expression or operator delete[] for an array delete expression. [Note: An implementation provides default definitions of the global deallocation functions operator delete for non-arrays ([new.delete.single]) and operator delete[] for arrays (, [new.delete.array]). A C++ program can provide alternative definitions of these functions ([replacement.functions]), and/or class-specific versions ([class.free]). — end note]

Change paragraph 9 (incorporating some of [class.free]/4):

WhenIf the keyword delete in a delete-expression is not preceded by the unary :: operator, the deallocation function’s name is looked up in global scope. Otherwise, the lookup considers class-specific deallocation functions ([class.free]). and the type of the operand is a pointer to a (possibly cv-qualified) class type T:

  1. If T has a virtual destructor, the deallocation function is the one selected at the point of definition of the dynamic type’s virtual destructor ([class.dtor]).
  2. Otherwise, a search is performed for the deallocation function’s name in the scope of T.

If no class-specific deallocation functionOtherwise, or if nothing is found, the deallocation function’s name is looked up by searching for it in the global scope. In any case, any declarations other than of usual deallocation functions ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) are discarded. [Note: If only a placement deallocation function is found in a class, the program is ill-formed because the lookup set is empty ([basic.lookup]). — end note]

Change paragraph 10:

If deallocation function lookup finds more than one usual deallocation function is found, the function to be called is selected as follows:

  1. If any of the deallocation functions is a destroying operator delete, all deallocation functions that are not destroying operator deletes are eliminated from further consideration.
  2. If the type has new-extended alignment, a function with a parameter of type std::align_val_t is preferred; otherwise a function without such a parameter is preferred. If any preferred functions are found, all non-preferred functions are eliminated from further consideration.
  3. If exactly one function remains, that function is selected and the selection process terminates.
  4. If the deallocation functions havebelong to a class scope, the one without a parameter of type std::size_t is selected.
  5. If the type is complete and if, for an array delete expression only, the operand is a pointer to a class type with a non-trivial destructor or a (possibly multi-dimensional) array thereof, the function with a parameter of type std::size_t is selected.
  6. Otherwise, it is unspecified whether a deallocation function with a parameter of type std::size_t is selected.

[expr.const]

Change paragraph 13:

An expression or conversion is in an immediate function context if it is potentially evaluated and its innermost enclosing non-block scope is a function parameter scope of an immediate function. An expression or conversion is an immediate invocation if it is an explicit or implicit invocation of an immediate function and is not in an immediate function context. An immediate invocation shall be a constant expression.

Change bullet (15.7):

a variable whose name appears asnamed by a potentially constant evaluated expression that is either a constexpr variable or is of non-volatile const-qualified integral type or of reference type.

[stmt.stmt]

[stmt.pre]

Remove paragraph 5.

Change paragraph 7:

If a condition can be syntactically resolved as either an expression or thea declaration of a block-scope name, it is interpreted as a declarationthe latter.

[stmt.label]

Change paragraph 1:

[…]

The optional attribute-specifier-seq appertains to the label. An identifier label declares the identifier. The only use of an identifier label with an identifier is as the target of a goto. The scope of a label is the function in which it appears. LNo two labels shall not be redeclared within a function shall have the same identifier. A label can be used in a goto statement before its declarationintroduction by a labeled-statement. Labels have their own name space and do not interfere with other identifiers. [Note: A label may have the same name as another declaration in the same scope or a template-parameter from an enclosing scope. Unqualified name lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]) ignores labels. — end note]

[stmt.select]

Change paragraph 2:

The substatement in a[Note: Each selection-statement (and each substatement, in the else form of the if statement of a selection-statement) implicitly defineshas a block scope ([basic.scope.block]). — end note] If the substatement in a selection-statement is a single statement and not a compound-statement, it is as if it was rewritten to be a compound-statement containing the original substatement. [Example:

[stmt.switch]

Change paragraph 7 as for [stmt.if]/3.

[stmt.iter]

Remove paragraph 3.

[stmt.while]

Change paragraph 2:

When the condition of a while statement is a declaration, the scope of the variable that is declared extends from its point of declaration ([basic.scope.pdecl]) to the end of the while statement. A while statement is equivalent to

[…]

[Note: The variable created in the condition is destroyed and created with each iteration of the loop. [Example:

In the while-loop, the constructor and destructor are each called twice, once for the condition that succeeds and once for the condition that fails. — end example] — end note]

[stmt.for]

Change paragraph 1 as for [stmt.if]/3 (up to a comma instead of a period).

Remove paragraph 3 (whose example is moved to [basic.scope.block]).

[stmt.ranged]

Change bullet (1.3.2):

if the for-range-initializer is an expression of class type C, the unqualified-id⁠s and searches in the scope of C ([class.member.lookup]) for the names begin and end are looked up in the scope of C as if by class member access lookup ([basic.lookup.classref]), and if botheach find at least one declaration, begin-expr and end-expr are range.begin() and range.end(), respectively;

[stmt.dcl]

Change paragraph 1:

[…]

[Note: If an identifier introduced by a declaration was previously declared in an outer block, the outer declaration is hidden for the remainder of the block ([basic.lookup.unqual]), after which it resumes its force. — end note]

Change paragraph 4:

Dynamic initialization of a block-scope variable with static storage duration ([basic.stc.static]) or thread storage duration ([basic.stc.thread]) is performed the first time control passes through its declaration; such a variable is considered initialized upon the completion of its initialization. […]

Change paragraph 5:

An block-scope object associated with a block variable with static or thread storage duration will be destroyed if and only if it was constructed. [Note: [basic.start.term] describes the order in which block-scopesuch objects with static and thread storage duration are destroyed. — end note]

[stmt.ambig]

Change paragraph 3:

[…] Disambiguation precedes parsing, and a statement disambiguated as a declaration may be an ill-formed declaration. If, during parsing, lookup finds that a name in a template parameter is bound differently than it would be bound during a trial parseargument is bound to (part of) the declaration being parsed, the program is ill-formed. No diagnostic is required. [Note: This can occur only when the name is declared earlier in the declaration. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[dcl.dcl]

[dcl.pre]

Change paragraph 4:

A declaration occurs in a scope ([basic.scope]); the scope rules are summarized in [basic.lookup]. ACertain declarations that declares a function or defines a class, namespace, template, or function also hascontain one or more scopes nested within it ([basic.scope.scope]). These nested scopes, in turn, can have declarations nested within them. Unless otherwise stated, utterances in [dcl.dcl] about components in, of, or contained by a declaration or subcomponent thereof refer only to those components of the declaration that are not nested within scopes nested within the declaration.

Change paragraph 5:

In a simple-declaration, the optional init-declarator-list can be omitted only when declaring a class ([class.pre]) or enumeration ([dcl.enum]), that is, when the decl-specifier-seq contains either a class-specifier, an elaborated-type-specifier with a class-key ([class.name]), or an enum-specifier. In these cases and whenever a class-specifier or enum-specifier is present in the decl-specifier-seq, the identifiers in these specifiers are among the names beingalso declared by the declaration (as class-name⁠s, enum-name⁠s, or enumerator⁠s, depending on the syntax). In such cases, the decl-specifier-seq shall (re)introduce one or more names into the program, or shall redeclare a name introduced by a previous declaration. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 9:

Each init-declarator in the init-declarator-list contains exactly one declarator-id, which is theIf a declarator-id is a name, the declared by that init-declarator and (hence) one of the names declared by the declaration introduce that name. [Note: Otherwise, the declarator-id is a qualified-id or names a destructor or its unqualified-id is a template-id and no name is introduced. — end note] The defining-type-specifier⁠s ([dcl.type]) in the decl-specifier-seq and the recursive declarator structure of the init-declarator describe a type ([dcl.meaning]), which is then associated with the name being declared by the init-declaratordeclarator-id.

Change paragraph 10:

If the decl-specifier-seq contains the typedef specifier, the declaration is called a typedef declaration, each declarator-id must be an identifier, and the name of each init-declarator is declared to be a typedef-name, synonymous with its associated type ([dcl.typedef]). If the decl-specifier-seq contains no typedef specifier, the declaration is called a function declaration if the type associated with the namea declarator-id is a function type ([dcl.fct]) and an object declaration otherwise.

[dcl.spec]

Change paragraph 6:

The linkages implied by successiveAll declarations for a given entity shall agreegive its name the same linkage. That is, within a given scope, each declaration declaring the same variable name or the same overloading of a function name shall imply the same linkage. [Note: The linkage given by some declarations is affected by previous declarations. Overloaded functions are distinct entities. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[dcl.typedef]

Change paragraph 2:

A typedef-name can also be introduced by an alias-declaration. The identifier following the using keyword is not looked up; it becomes a typedef-name and the optional attribute-specifier-seq following the identifier appertains to that typedef-name. […]

Remove paragraphs 3 through 7.

[dcl.inline]

Change paragraph 6:

[Note: An inline function or variable with external or module linkage has the same addresscan be defined in allmultiple translation units ([basic.def.odr]), but is one entity with one address. A type or static local variable defined in an inlinethe body of such a function with external or module linkage always refers to the same objectis therefore a single entity. A type defined within the body of an inline function with external or module linkage is the same type in every translation unit. — end note]

[dcl.type.simple]

Insert before paragraph 2:

The component names of a simple-type-specifier are those of its nested-name-specifier, type-name, simple-template-id, template-name, and/or type-constraint (if it is a placeholder-type-specifier). The component name of a type-name is the first name in it.

[dcl.type.elab]

Insert before paragraph 1:

The component names of an elaborated-type-specifier are its identifier (if any) and those of its nested-name-specifier and simple-template-id (if any).

Change paragraph 1:

An attribute-specifier-seq shall not appear in an elaborated-type-specifier unless the latter is the sole constituent of a declaration. If an elaborated-type-specifier is the sole constituent of a declaration, the declaration is ill-formed unless it is an explicit specialization ([temp.expl.spec]), an explicit instantiation ([temp.explicit]) or it has one of the following forms:

class-key attribute-specifier-seqopt identifier ;
class-key attribute-specifier-seqopt simple-template-id ;
friend class-key ::opt identifier ;
friend class-key ::opt simple-template-id ;
friend class-key nested-name-specifier identifier ;
friend class-key nested-name-specifier templateopt simple-template-id ;

In the first case, it declares the identifier as a class-name. The second case shall appear only in a template-declaration; it declares a partial specialization ([temp.class.spec]). Tthe attribute-specifier-seq, if any, appertains to the class or template being declared; the attributes in the attribute-specifier-seq are thereafter considered attributes of the class whenever it is named.

Insert before paragraph 2:

Otherwise, the elaborated-type-specifier shall not have an attribute-specifier-seq. If it contains a identifier but no nested-name-specifier and (unqualified) lookup for the identifier finds nothing, it shall not be introduced by the enum keyword and declares the identifier as a class-name. Its target scope is the nearest enclosing namespace or block scope.

If it appears with the friend specifier as an entire declaration, the declaration shall have one of the following forms:

friend class-key nested-name-specifieropt identifier ;
friend class-key simple-template-id ;
friend class-key nested-name-specifier templateopt simple-template-id ;

Lookup for the identifier does not consider scopes that contain the target scope; no name is bound. [Note: [basic.lookup.elab] describes how name lookup proceeds in an elaborated-type-specifier. — end note]

Change paragraph 2:

[Note: [basic.lookup.elab] describes how name lookup proceeds for the identifier in aAn elaborated-type-specifier may be used to refer to a previously declared class-name or enum-name even if the name has been hidden by a non-type declaration. — end note] If the identifier or simple-template-id resolves to a class-name or enum-name, the elaborated-type-specifier introduces it into the declaration the same way a simple-type-specifier introduces its type-name ([dcl.type.simple]). […]

[dcl.spec.auto]

Change paragraph 11:

If the name of an entity variable or function with an undeduced placeholder type appears inis named by an expression ([basic.def.odr]), the program is ill-formed. Once a non-discarded return statement has been seen in a function, however, the return type deduced from that statement can be used in the rest of the function, including in other return statements. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 13:

If a function or function template has a declared return type that uses a placeholder type, rRedeclarations or specializations (respectively) of a function or function template with a declared return type that uses a placeholder typeit shall also use that placeholder, not a deduced type. Similarly, redeclarations or specializations of a function or function template with a declared return type that does not use a placeholder type; otherwise, they shall not use a placeholder.

[dcl.decl]

Change paragraph 1:

A declarator declares a single variable, function, or type, within a declaration. The init-declarator-list appearing in a declarationsimple-declaration is a comma-separated sequence of declarators, each of which can have an initializer.

[…]

Change paragraph 2:

The three components of a simple-declaration are the attributes ([dcl.attr]), the specifiers (decl-specifier-seq; [dcl.spec]) and the declarators (init-declarator-list). In all contexts, a declarator is interpreted as given below. Where an abstract-declarator can be used (or omitted) in place of a declarator ([dcl.fct], [except.pre]), it is as if a unique identifier were included in the appropriate place ([dcl.name]). The preceding specifiers indicate the type, storage class or other properties of the entity or entities being declared. TheEach declarators specifyies the names of theseone entitiesy and (optionally) names it and/or modifyies the type of the specifiers with operators such as * (pointer to) and () (function returning). Initial values[Note: An init-declarator can also be specified in a declarator;y an initializers are discussed in ([dcl.init] and [class.init]). — end note]

Change paragraph 3:

Each init-declarator or member-declarator in a declaration is analyzed separately as if it waswere in a declaration by itself. [Note: A declaration with several declarators is usually equivalent to the corresponding sequence of declarations each with a single declarator. That is,

T D1, D2, ... Dn;

is usually equivalent to

T D1; T D2; ... T Dn;

where T is a decl-specifier-seq and each Di is an init-declarator or member-declarator. […]

— end note]

[dcl.meaning]

Change paragraph 1:

A declarator contains exactly one declarator-id; it names the identifierentity that is declared. AnIf the unqualified-id occurring in a declarator-id shall beis a simple identifier except for the declaration of some specialtemplate-id, the declarator shall appear in the declaration of a template-declaration ([temp.class.spec]), explicit-specialization ([temp.expl.spec]), or explicit-instantiation ([temp.explicit]). [Note: An unqualified-id that is not an identifier is used to declare certain functions ([class.ctor], [class.conv.fct], [class.dtor], [over.oper], [over.literal]) and for the declaration of template specializations or partial specializations ([temp.spec]). — _end note] When the declarator-id is qualified, the declaration shall refer to a previously declared member of the class or namespace to which the qualifier refers (or, in the case of a namespace, of an element of the inline namespace set of that namespace ([namespace.def])) or to a specialization thereof; the member shall not merely have been introduced by a using-declaration in the scope of the class or namespace nominated by the nested-name-specifier of the declarator-id. The nested-name-specifier of a qualified declarator-id shall not begin with a decltype-specifier. [Note: If the qualifier is the global :: scope resolution operator, the declarator-id refers to a name declared in the global namespace scope. — end note] The optional attribute-specifier-seq following a declarator-id appertains to the entity that is declared.

Insert before paragraph 2, including the examples from [namespace.memdef]/2 and from [basic.link]/7, with changes as marked for the latter:

If the id-expression E in a declarator-id of a friend declaration is a qualified-id or a template-id:

  1. If the friend declaration is not a template declaration, then in the lookup for the terminal name of E:
    1. if the unqualified-id in E is a template-id, all function declarations are discarded;
    2. otherwise, if the declarator corresponds ([basic.scope.scope]) to any declaration found of a non-template function, all function template declarations are discarded;
    3. each remaining function template is replaced with the specialization chosen by deduction from the friend declaration ([temp.deduct.decl]) or discarded if deduction fails.
  2. The declarator shall correspond to one or more declarations found by the lookup; they shall all have the same target scope, and the target scope of the declarator is that scope.

Otherwise, the terminal name of a declarator-id is not looked up.

  1. If the declaration is a friend declaration, its target scope is the innermost enclosing namespace scope; if the declaration is contained by a block scope, it shall correspond to a declaration that inhabits the innermost block scope. The declarator binds no name.
  2. If the id-expression in the declarator-id is a qualified-id or template-id or the declarator is part of the declaration of an explicit-instantiation or explicit-specialization:
    1. If the id-expression is a qualified-id, let S be its lookup context ([basic.lookup.qual]). The declaration shall inhabit a namespace scope.
    2. Otherwise, let S be the entity associated with the immediate scope of the id-expression.

    The declarator shall correspond to one or more declarations nominable in S or declare a specialization of an entity declared by such a declaration. In the former case, all the declarations shall have the same target scope and the target scope of the declarator is that scope. [Example:

    [… from [namespace.memdef]/2]

    — end example]
  3. If the declaration inhabits a block scope S and declares a function ([dcl.fct]) or uses the extern specifier, the declaration shall not be attached to a named module ([module.unit]) and its target scope is the innermost enclosing namespace scope, but the name is bound in S. [Example:

namespace X {
  void p() {
    q();                        // error: q not yet declared
    extern void q();            // q is a member of namespace X
    extern void r();            // r is a member of namespace X
  }

  void middle() {
    q();                        // error: q not yet declaredfound
  }

  void q() { /* ... */ }        // definition of X::q
}

void q() { /* ... */ }          // some other, unrelated q
void X::r() { /* ... */ } // error: r cannot be declared by qualified-id

— end example]

[Drafting note: Richard proposed making the restriction on use of a qualified-id grammatical. — end drafting note]

Change paragraph 2:

A static, thread_local, extern, mutable, friend, inline, virtual, constexpr, or typedef specifier or an explicit-specifier applies directly to each declarator-id in an init-declarator-list or member-declarator-list declaration; the type specified for each declarator-id depends on both the decl-specifier-seq and its declarator.

Change paragraph 3:

Thus, (for each declarator) a declaration of a particular identifier has the form

T D

where T is of the form attribute-specifier-seqopt decl-specifier-seq and D is a declarator. Following is a recursive procedure for determining the type specified for the contained declarator-id by such a declaration.

Change paragraph 5:

In a declaration attribute-specifier-seqopt T D where D is an unadorned identifiername the type of this identifierthe declared entity is “T”.

[dcl.ptr]

Change paragraph 1:

In a declaration T D where D has the form

* attribute-specifier-seqopt cv-qualifier-seqopt D1

and the type of the identifiercontained declarator-id in the declaration T D1 is “derived-declarator-type-list T”, then the type of the identifier ofdeclarator-id in D is “derived-declarator-type-list cv-qualifier-seq pointer to T”. […]

[dcl.ref]

Change paragraph 1:

In a declaration T D where D has either of the forms

& attribute-specifier-seqopt D1
&& attribute-specifier-seqopt D1

and the type of the identifiercontained declarator-id in the declaration T D1 is “derived-declarator-type-list T”, then the type of the identifier ofdeclarator-id in D is “derived-declarator-type-list reference to T”. […]

[dcl.mptr]

Prepend paragraph:

The component names of a ptr-operator are those of its nested-name-specifier, if any.

Change paragraph 1:

In a declaration T D where D has the form

nested-name-specifier * attribute-specifier-seqopt cv-qualifier-seqopt D1

and the nested-name-specifier denotes a class, and the type of the identifiercontained declarator-id in the declaration T D1 is “derived-declarator-type-list T”, then the type of the identifier ofdeclarator-id in D is “derived-declarator-type-list cv-qualifier-seq pointer to member of class nested-name-specifier of type T”. […]

[dcl.fct]

Change paragraph 5, appending an example adapted from [over.load]/3:

The type of a function is determined using the following rules. The type of each parameter (including function parameter packs) is determined from its own decl-specifier-seq and declaratorparameter-declaration ([dcl.decl]). […][Note: This transformation does not affect the types of the parameters. For example, int(*)(const int p, decltype(p)*) and int(*)(int, const int*) are identical types. — end note] [Example:

void f(char*);             // #1
void f(char[]) {}          // defines #1
void f(const char*) {}     // OK: overloads #1
void f(char *const) {}     // error: redefines #1

void g(char(*)[2]);        // #2
void g(char[3][2]) {}      // defines #2
void g(char[3][3]) {}      // OK: overloads #2

void h(int x(const int));  // #3
void h(int (*)(int)) {}    // defines #3

— end example]

Change paragraph 10:

[Note: A single name can be used for several different functions in a single scope; this is function overloading ([over]). — end note] All declarations for a function shall have equivalent return types, parameter-type-lists, and requires-clause⁠s ([temp.over.link]).

Change paragraph 15:

An identifier can optionally be provided as a parameter name; if present in a function definition ([dcl.fct.def]), it names a parameter. [Note: In particular, parameter names are also optional in function definitions and names used for a parameter in different declarations and the definition of a function need not be the same. If a parameter name is present in a function declaration that is not a definition, it cannot be used outside of its function declarator because that is the extent of its potential scope ([basic.scope.param]). — end note]

[dcl.fct.default]

Change paragraph 4:

For non-template functions, default arguments can be added in later declarations of a function inthat inhabit the same scope. Declarations inthat inhabit different scopes have completely distinct sets of default arguments. That is, declarations in inner scopes do not acquire default arguments from declarations in outer scopes, and vice versa. […]

Change paragraph 5:

The default argument has the same semantic constraints as the initializer in a declaration of a variable of the parameter type, using the copy-initialization semantics ([dcl.init]). The names in the default argument are boundlooked up, and the semantic constraints are checked, at the point where the default argument appears. Name lookup and checking of semantic constraints for default arguments in function templates and in member functions of class templates are performed as described in [temp.inst]. [Example: In the following code, g will be called with the value f(2):

[…]

— end example] [Note: In member function declarations, names in default arguments are looked up as described in [basic.lookup.unqual]. A default argument is a complete-class context ([class.mem]). Access checking applies to names in default arguments as described in [class.access]. — end note]

Change paragraph 9:

A default argument is evaluated each time the function is called with no argument for the corresponding parameter. A parameter shall not appear as a potentially-evaluated expression in a default argument. [Note: Parameters of a function declared before a default argument are in scope and can hide namespace and class member names. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example] A non-static member shall not appear in a default argument unless it appears as the id-expression of a class member access expression ([expr.ref]) or unless it is used to form a pointer to member ([expr.unary.op]). [Example: The declaration of X::mem1() in the following example is ill-formed because no object is supplied for the non-static member X::a used as an initializer.

[…]

The declaration of X::mem2() is meaningful, however, since no object is needed to access the static member X::b. Classes, objects, and members are described in [class.pre]. — end example] A default argument is not part of the type of a function. [Example:

[…]

— end example] When a declaration of a function in a scope S is introducednamed by way of a using-declarationor ([namespace.udecl]), any default argument information associated with theany declaration is made known as wellD in S is available to any call from which D is reachable. If the function is redeclared thereafter in the namespace with additional default arguments, the additional arguments are also known at any point following the redeclaration where the using-declaration is in scope. [Note: D need not be reachable from the using-declaration. — end note]

[dcl.init]

Change paragraph 5:

A declaration of a block-scope variable with external or internal linkage that has an initializer is ill-formed.

Remove paragraph 13.

[dcl.init.aggr]

Change bullet (4.1):

If the element is an anonymous union objectmember and the initializer list is a designated-initializer-list, the anonymous union objectelement is initialized by the designated-initializer-list {D}, where D is the designated-initializer-clause naming a member of the anonymous union objectmember.

In the function-body, aA function-local predefined variable denotes a block-scope object ofis a variable with static storage duration that is implicitly defined (see [basic.scope.block])in a function parameter scope.

[dcl.fct.def.coroutine]

Change paragraph 10:

The unqualified-idIf a search for the name get_return_object_on_allocation_failure is looked up in the scope of the promise type by class member access lookup ([basicclass.member.lookup.classref]). Iffinds any declarations are found, then the result of a call to an allocation function used to obtain storage for the coroutine state is assumed to return nullptr if it fails to obtain storage, and if a global allocation function is selected, the ::operator new(size_t, nothrow_t) form is used. […]

[dcl.struct.bind]

Change paragraph 4:

Otherwise, if the qualified-id std::tuple_size<E> names a complete class type with a member named value, the expression std::tuple_size<E>::value shall be a well-formed integral constant expression and the number of elements in the identifier-list shall be equal to the value of that expression. Let i be an index prvalue of type std::size_t corresponding to vi. The unqualified-idIf a search for the name get is looked up in the scope of E by class member access lookup ([basicclass.member.lookup.classref]), and if that finds at least one declaration that is a function template whose first template parameter is a non-type parameter, the initializer is e.get<i>(). Otherwise, the initializer is get<i>(e), where get isundergoes argument-dependent looked up in the associated namespaces ([basic.lookup.argdep]). In either case, get<i> is interpreted as a template-id. [Note: Ordinary unqualified lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]) is not performed. — end note][…]

[enum]

[dcl.enum]

Change paragraph 4:

If an enum-head-name contains a nested-name-specifier, it shall not begin with a decltype-specifier and the enclosing enum-specifier or opaque-enum-declaration D shall refer to an enumeration that was previously declared directlynot inhabit a class scope and shall correspond to one or more declarations nominable in the class, class template, or namespace to which the nested-name-specifier refers, or in an element of the inline namespace set ([namespace.def]) of that namespace (i.e., neither inherited nor introduced by a using-declaration), and the enum-specifier or opaque-enum-declaration shall appear in a namespace enclosing the previous declaration ([basic.scope.scope]). All those declarations shall have the same target scope; the target scope of D is that scope.

Change paragraph 6:

An enumeration whose underlying type is fixed is an incomplete type from its point of declaration ([basic.scope.pdecl]) tountil immediately after its enum-base (if any), at which point it becomes a complete type. An enumeration whose underlying type is not fixed is an incomplete type from its point of declaration to immediately afteruntil the closing } of its enum-specifier, at which point it becomes a complete type.

Change paragraph 11:

Each enum-name andThe name of each unscoped enumeratorenumerator is declaredalso bound in the scope that immediately contains the enum-specifier. Each scoped enumerator is declared in the scope of the enumeration. An unnamed enumeration that does not have a typedef name for linkage purposes ([dcl.typedef]) and that has a first enumerator is denoted, for linkage purposes ([basic.link]), by its underlying type and its first enumerator; such an enumeration is said to have an enumerator as a name for linkage purposes. These names obey the scope rules defined for all names in [basic.scope] and [basic.lookup]. [Note: Each unnamed enumeration with no enumerators is a distinct type. — end note] [Example:

[…]

[enum.udecl]

Change paragraph 2:

A using-enum-declaration introduces the enumerator names of the named enumeration as if byis equivalent to a using-declaration for each enumerator.

Change paragraph 3:

[basic.namespace]

Change paragraph 1:

A namespace is an optionally-named declarative regionentity whose scope can contain declarations of any kind of entity. The name of a namespace can be used to access entities declared inthat belong to that namespace; that is, the membersmembers of the namespace. Unlike other declarative regionsentities, the definition of a namespace can be split over several parts of one or more translation units and modules.

Change paragraph 2:

[Note: A namespace name with external linkagenamespace-definition is exported if any of its namespace-definition⁠s is exported, or if it contains any export-declaration⁠s ([module.interface]). A namespace is never attached to a named module, and never has a name with module linkage even if it is not exported. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 3:

The outermost declarative region of a translation unitThere is a namespaceglobal namespace with no declaration; see [basic.scope.namespace]. The global namespace belongs to the global scope; it is not an unnamed namespace ([namespace.unnamed]). [Note: Lacking a declaration, it cannot be found by name lookup. — end note]

[namespace.def]

Change paragraph 1:

Every namespace-definition shall appear atinhabit a namespace scope ([basic.scope.namespace]).

Change paragraph 2:

In a named-namespace-definition D, the identifier is the name of the namespace. If tThe identifier, whenis looked up ([basic.lookup.unqual]), refers to a namespace-name (but not a namespace-alias) that was introduced by searching for it in the scopes of the namespace A in which the named-namespace-definitionD appears or that was introduced in a memberand of every element of the inline namespace set of that namespaceA. If the lookup finds a namespace-definition for a namespace N, the namespace-definitionD extends the previously-declared namespaceN, and the target scope of D is the scope to which N belongs. OtherwiseIf the lookup finds nothing, the identifier is introduced as a namespace-name into the declarative region in which the named-namespace-definition appearsA.

Remove paragraph 4 (whose example is adapted in [basic.scope.namespace]/1).

Change paragraph 7:

[…] Finally, looking up a name in the enclosing namespace via explicit qualification ([namespace.qual]) will include members of the inline namespace brought in by the using-directive even if there are declarations of that name in the enclosing namespace.

Change paragraph 8:

These properties are transitive: if a namespace N contains an inline namespace M, which in turn contains an inline namespace O, then the members of O can be used as though they were members of M or N. The inline namespace set of N is the transitive closure of all inline namespaces in N. The enclosing namespace set of O is the set of namespaces consisting of the innermost non-inline namespace enclosing an inline namespace O, together with any intervening inline namespaces.

[namespace.memdef]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [namespace.def]. Remove the cross-reference parenthetical in [namespace.def]/4 and update those in [temp.class.spec]/6 and [temp.expl.spec]/3 to refer to [dcl.meaning].

The examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 are moved to [dcl.meaning] and [class.friend]/11 respectively.

[namespace.alias]

Change paragraph 2:

The identifier in a namespace-alias-definition isbecomes a synonym for the name ofnamespace-alias and denotes the namespace denoted by the qualified-namespace-specifier and becomes a namespace-alias. [Note: When looking up a namespace-name in a namespace-alias-definition, only namespace names are considered, see [basic.lookup.udir]. — end note]

Remove paragraph 3 (whose example is adapted in [basic.scope.scope]).

[namespace.udir]

Change paragraph 2:

[Note: A using-directive specifies thatmakes the names in the nominated namespace can be usedusable in the scope in which the using-directive appears after the using-directive ([basic.lookup.unqual], [namespace.qual]). During unqualified name lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]), the names appear as if they were declared in the nearest enclosing namespace which contains both the using-directive and the nominated namespace. [Note: In this context, “contains” means “contains directly or indirectly”. — end note]

Change paragraph 7:

During overload resolution, all functions from the transitive search are considered for argument matching. The set of declarations found by the transitive search is unordered. [Note: In particular, tThe order in which namespaces weare considered and the relationships among the namespaces implied by the using-directive⁠s do not cause preference to be given to any of the declarations found by the searchaffect overload resolution. — end note] An ambiguity exists if the best match finds two functions withNeither is any function excluded because another has the same signature, even if one is in a namespace reachable through using-directive⁠s in the namespace of the other.[…] — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[namespace.udecl]

Change and split paragraph 1:

The component names of a using-declarator are those of its nested-name-specifier and unqualified-id. Each using-declarator in a using-declaration[…] introduces a set of declarations into the declarative region in which the using-declaration appears. Thenames the set of declarations introduced by the using-declarator is found by performing qualified name lookup ([basic.lookup.qual], [class.member.lookup]) for the name in the using-declarator, excludingexcept that class and enumeration declarations that would be discarded are merely ignored when checking for ambiguity ([basic.lookup]), conversion function templates with a dependent return type are ignored, and certain functions that are hidden as described below. If the terminal name of the using-declarator is dependent ([temp.dep.type]), the using-declarator is considered to name a constructor if and only if the nested-name-specifier has a terminal name that is the same as the unqualified-id. If the lookup in any instantiation finds that a using-declarator that is not considered to name a constructor does do so, or that a using-declarator that is considered to name a constructor does not, the program is ill-formed.

If the using-declarator does not name a constructor, the unqualified-id is declared in the declarative region in which the using-declaration appears as a synonym for each declaration introduced by the using-declarator. [Note: Only the specified name is so declared; specifying an enumeration name in a using-declaration does not declare its enumerators in the using-declaration’s declarative region. — end note] If the using-declarator names a constructor, it declares that the class inherits the named set of constructor declarations introduced by the using-declarator from the nominated base class. [Note: Otherwise, the unqualified-id in the using-declarator is bound to the using-declarator, which is replaced during name lookup with the declarations it names ([basic.lookup]). If such a declaration is of an enumeration, the names of its enumerators are not bound. For the keyword typename, see [temp.res]. — end note]

Remove paragraph 2 (part of whose example is merged into another below).

Change paragraph 3, combining its latter two examples with that from /2 (in the given order and with changes as marked):

In a using-declaration used as a member-declaration, each using-declarator shall either name an enumerator or have a nested-name-specifier naming a base class of the current class being defined. [Example:

[…]

— end example] If a using-declarator names a constructor, its nested-name-specifier shall name a direct base class of the current class being defined. If the immediate (class) scope is associated with a class template, it shall derive from the specified base class or have at least one dependent base class. [Example:

[…]

Change paragraph 4:

[Note: Since destructors do not have names, a using-declaration cannot refer to a destructor for a base class. Since specializations of member templates for conversion functions are not found by name lookup, they are not considered when a using-declaration specifies a conversion function ([temp.mem]). — end note] If a constructor or assignment operator brought from a base class into a derived class has the signature of a copy/move constructor or assignment operator for the derived class ([class.copy.ctor], [class.copy.assign]), the using-declaration does not by itself suppress the implicit declaration of the derived class member; the member from the base class is hidden or overridden by the implicitly-declared copy/move constructor or assignment operator of the derived class, as described below.

Remove paragraph 8.

Replace paragraph 9:

If a declaration is named by two using-declarator⁠s that inhabit the same class scope, the program is ill-formed.

Change paragraph 10:

[Note: For aA using-declarationor whose nested-name-specifier names a namespace, members does not name declarations added to the namespace after the using-declaration are not in the set of introduced declarations, so they are not considered when a use of the name is madeit. Thus, additional overloads added after the using-declaration are ignored, but default function arguments ([dcl.fct.default]), default template arguments ([temp.param]), and template specializations ([temp.class.spec], [temp.expl.spec]) are considered. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Remove paragraph 11.

Change paragraph 12:

Since a using-declaration is a declaration, the restrictions on declarations of the same name in the same declarative region ([basic.scope]) also apply to using-declaration⁠s. If a declaration named by a using-declaration that inhabits the target scope of another declaration potentially conflicts with it ([basic.scope.scope]) and either is reachable from the other, the program is ill-formed. If two declarations named by using-declaration⁠s that inhabit the same scope potentially conflict, either is reachable from the other, and they do not both declare functions or function templates, the program is ill-formed. [Note: Overload resolution may not be able to distinguish between conflicting function declarations. — end note] [Example:
namespace A {
  int x;
  int f(int);
  int g;
  void h();
}

namespace B {
  int i;
  struct g { };
  struct x { };
  void f(int);

Remove paragraph 13 (whose example is merged into the above).

Change paragraph 14:

WhenThe set of declarations named by a using-declarator brings declarations from a base class into a derived class,that inhabits a class C does not include member functions and member function templates in the derivedof a base class override and/or hide member functions and member function templates with the same name, parameter-type-list ([dcl.fct]), trailing requires-clause (if any), cv-qualification, and ref-qualifier (if any), in a base classthat correspond to (rather thanand thus would conflicting with) a declaration of a function or function template in C. Such hidden or overridden declarations are excluded from the set of declarations introduced by the using-declarator. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 15:

[Note: For the purpose of forming a set of candidates during overload resolution, the functions that are introducednamed by a using-declaration into a derived class are treated as though they were direct members of the derived class ([class.member.lookup]). In particular, the implicit object parameter is treated as if it were a reference to the derived class rather than to the base class ([over.match.funcs]). This has no effect on the type of the function, and in all other respects the function remains a memberpart of the base class. — end note]

Change paragraph 16:

Constructors that are introducednamed by a using-declaration are treated as though they were constructors of the derived class when looking up the constructors of the derived class ([class.qual]) or forming a set of overload candidates ([over.match.ctor], [over.match.copy], [over.match.list]). [Note: If such a constructor is selected to perform the initialization of an object of class type, all subobjects other than the base class from which the constructor originated are implicitly initialized ([class.inhctor.init]). A constructor of a derived class is sometimes preferred to a constructor of a base class if they would otherwise be ambiguous ([over.match.best]). — end note]

Change paragraph 17:

In a using-declarator that does not name a constructor, all members of the set of introducedevery declarations named shall be accessible. In a using-declarator that names a constructor, no access check is performed. In particular, if a derived class uses a using-declarator to access a member of a base class, the member name shall be accessible. If the name is that of an overloaded member function, then all functions named shall be accessible. The base class members mentioned by a using-declarator shall be visible in the scope of at least one of the direct base classes of the class where the using-declarator is specified.

Change paragraph 19:

A synonym created by a using-declaration has the usual accessibility for a member-declaration. ABase-class constructors considered because of a using-declarator that names a constructor does not create a synonym; instead, the additional constructors are accessible if they would be accessible when used to construct an object of the corresponding base class, and; the accessibility of the using-declaration is ignored. [Example:

Remove paragraph 20.

Change paragraph 1:

All function types, functions names with external linkage, and variables whose names withhave external linkage and all function types have a language linkage. [Note: Some of the properties associated with an entity with language linkage are specific to each implementation and are not described here. For example, a particular language linkage may be associated with a particular form of representing names of objects and functions with external linkage, or with a particular calling convention, etc. — end note] The default language linkage of all function types, functions names, and variables names is C++ language linkage. Two function types with different language linkages are distinct types even if they are otherwise identical.

Change paragraph 3:

Every implementation shall provide for linkage to functions written in the C programming language, "C", and linkage to C++ functions, "C++". [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 5:

Linkage specifications nest. When linkage specifications nest, the innermost one determines the language linkage. [Note: A linkage specification does not establish a scope. — end note] A linkage-specification shall occur only ininhabit a namespace scope ([basic.scope]). In a linkage-specification, the specified language linkage applies to the function types of all function declarators, and to all functions names with external linkage, and variables names with external linkage declared within the linkage-specification. [Example:

[…]

— end example] A C language linkage is ignored in determining the language linkage of the names of class members and the function type of class member functions. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 6:

If two declarations declare functions with the same name and parameter-type-list ([dcl.fct]) to be members of the same namespace or declare objects with the same name to be members of the same namespace and the declarationsof an entity give the namesit different language linkages, the program is ill-formed; no diagnostic is required if theneither declarations appear in different translation units is reachable from the other. Except for functions with C++ linkage, a function declaration without a linkage specification shall not precede the first linkage specification for that function. A function can be declaredredeclaration of an entity without a linkage specification after an explicit linkage specification has been seen; the linkage explicitly specified in the earlier declaration is not affected by such a function declarationinherits the language linkage of the entity and (if applicable) its type.

Change paragraph 7:

At most one function with a particular name can have C language linkage. Two declarations fordeclare the same entity if they (re)introduce the same name, one declares a function or variable with C language linkage, and the other declares such an entity or a variable that belongs to the global scopewith the same function name (ignoring the namespace names that qualify it) that appear in different namespace scopes refer to the same function. Two declarations for a variable with C language linkage with the same name (ignoring the namespace names that qualify it) that appear in different namespace scopes refer to the same variable. An entity with C language linkage shall not be declared with the same name as a variable in global scope, unless both declarations denote the same entity; no diagnostic is required if the declarations appear in different translation units. A variable with C language linkage shall not be declared with the same name as a function with C language linkage (ignoring the namespace names that qualify the respective names); no diagnostic is required if the declarations appear in different translation units. [Note: Only one definition for an entity with a given name with C language linkage may appear in the program (see [basic.def.odr]); this implies that such an entity must not be defined in more than one namespace scope. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[dcl.attr.nodiscard]

Change paragraph 2:

An name or entity declared without the nodiscard attribute can later be redeclared with the attribute and vice-versa. […]

[module]

[module.interface]

Change paragraph 1:

An export-declaration shall appear only atinhabit a namespace scope and onlyappear in the purview of a module interface unit. An export-declaration shall not appear directly or indirectly within an unnamed namespace or a private-module-fragment. An export-declaration has the declarative effects of its declaration, declaration-seq (if any), or module-import-declaration. An export-declaration does not establish a scope and itsThe declaration or declaration-seq of an export-declaration shall not contain an export-declaration or module-import-declaration. [Note: An export-declaration does not establish a scope. — end note]

Change bullet (2.1):

a namespace-scope declaration declared within an export-declaration and inhabits a namespace scope, or

Change paragraph 6:

A redeclaration of an exported declaration of an entity or typedef-name X is implicitly exported if X was introduced by an exported declaration; otherwise it shall not be exported. An exported redeclaration of a non-exported declaration of an entity is ill-formed. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 7:

A name is exported by a module if it is introduced or redeclared by an exported declaration in the purview of that module. [Note: Names introduced by eExported namesdeclarations have either external linkage or no linkage; see [basic.link]. Namespace-scope namesdeclarations exported by a module are visible tocan be found by name lookup in any translation unit importing that module; see  ([basic.scope.namespacelookup]). Class and enumeration member names are visible tocan be found by name lookup in any context in which a definition of the type is reachable. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Remove paragraph 8.

[module.import]

Change paragraph 1:

A module-import-declaration shall only appear atinhabit the global namespace scope. In a module unit, all module-import-declaration⁠s and export-declaration⁠s exporting module-import-declaration⁠s shall precedeappear before all other declaration⁠s in the declaration-seq of the translation-unit and of the private-module-fragment (if any). The optional attribute-specifier-seq appertains to the module-import-declaration.

Change paragraph 2:

A module-import-declaration imports a set of translation units determined as described below. [Note: Namespace-scope namesdeclarations exported by the imported translation units become visiblecan be found by name lookup ([basic.scope.namespacelookup]) in the importing translation unit and declarations within the imported translation units become reachable ([module.reach]) in the importing translation unit after the import declaration. — end note]

Change the footnote in paragraph 7:

This is consistent with the lookup rules for visibility of imported names ([basic.scope.namespacelookup]).

[module.global.frag]

Change bullet (3.3):

S contains an expression dependent call E of the form

postfix-expression ( expression-listopt )

whose postfix-expression denotes a dependent name, or for an operator expression whose operator denotes a dependent name, and D is found by name lookup for the correspondingdependent name in an expression synthesized from E by replacing each type-dependent argument or operand with a value of a placeholder type with no associated namespaces or entities, or

Change bullet (3.7):

D redeclares the entity declared by M or M redeclares the entity declared by D, and D is neither is a friend declaration nor inhabits a block- scope declaration, or

[module.context]

Change paragraph 1:

The instantiation context is a set of points within the program that determines which namesdeclarations are visible tofound by argument-dependent name lookup ([basic.lookup.argdep]) and which declarations are reachable ([module.reach]) in the context of a particular declaration or template instantiation.

[module.reach]

Change paragraph 1:

A translation unit U is necessarily reachable from a point P if U is a module interface unit on which the translation unit containing P has an interface dependency, or the translation unit containing P imports U, in either case prior to P ([module.import]). [Note: While module interface units are reachable even when they are only transitively imported via a non-exported import declaration, namespace-scope names from such module interface units are not visible tofound by name lookup ([basic.scope.namespacelookup]). — end note]

Change paragraph 3:

A declaration D is reachable from if, for anya point P in the instantiation context ([module.context]),if

  1. D appears prior to P in the same translation unit, or
  2. D is not discarded ([module.global.frag]), appears in a translation unit that is reachable from P, and does not appear within a private-module-fragment.

A declaration is reachable if it is reachable from any point in the instantiation context ([module.context]). [Note: Whether a declaration is exported has no bearing on whether it is reachable. — end note]

Change paragraph 4:

The accumulated properties of all reachable declarations of an entity within a context determine the behavior of the entity within that context. [Note: These reachable semantic properties include type completeness, type definitions, initializers, default arguments of functions or template declarations, attributes, visibility of class or enumeration member names to ordinary lookupbound, etc. Since default arguments are evaluated in the context of the call expression, the reachable semantic properties of the corresponding parameter types apply in that context. [Example:

[class]

[class.pre]

Change paragraph 1:

[…]

The identifier in the class-head-name is not looked up. A class declaration where the class-name in the class-head-name is a simple-template-id shall be an explicit specialization ([temp.expl.spec]) or a partial specialization ([temp.class.spec]). A class-specifier whose class-head omits the class-head-name defines an unnamed class. [Note: An unnamed class thus can’t be final. — end note]

Change paragraph 2:

AIf the class-name is inserted into the scope in which it is declared immediately after the class-name is seenan identifier, the class-specifier introduces it. The class-name is also inserted intobound in the scope of the class (template) itself; this is known as the injected-class-name. […]

Change paragraph 3:

If a class-head-name contains a nested-name-specifier, the class-specifier shall refer to a class that was previously declared directly innot inhabit a class scope; let E be the class, class template, or namespace to which the nested-name-specifier refers, or in an element of the inline namespace set ([namespace.def]) of that namespace (i.e., not merely inherited or introduced by a using-declaration), and the class-specifier shall appear in a namespace enclosing the previous declaration. In such cases, the nested-name-specifier of the class-head-name of the definition shall not begin with a decltype-specifier. Otherwise, if its class-name is a simple-template-id, let E be the entity associated with its immediate scope. In either case, the class-specifier shall (ignoring any template argument list in the class-name) correspond to one or more declarations nominable in E ([basic.scope.scope]); they shall all have the same target scope, and the target scope of the class-specifier is that scope.

[class.prop]

Change bullet (3.7.1):

If X is a non-union class type with no (possibly inherited ([class.derived])) non-static data members, the set M(X) is empty.

[class.name]

Change paragraph 2:

stat gstat;                     // use plain stat to define variable

int stat(struct stat*);         // redeclare stat asnow also names a function

void f() {
  struct stat* ps;              // struct prefix needed to name struct stat
  stat(ps);                     // call stat() function

Change paragraph 1:

AIf a member function may beis attached to the global module and is defined ([dcl.fct.def]) in its class definition, in which case it is an inline ([dcl.inline]) member function if it is attached to the global module, or it may be defined outside of its class definition if it has already been declared but not defined in its class definition. [Note: A member function is also inline if it is declared inline, constexpr, or consteval. — end note]

Change paragraph 2:

A member function definition that appears outside of the class definition shall appear in a namespace scope enclosing the class definition. Except forA member function definitionsdeclaration that appears outside of a class definition, and except for explicit specializations of member functions of class templates and member function templates ([temp.spec]) appearing outside of the class definition, a member function shall not be redeclareda definition, an explicit specialization, or an explicit instantiation ([temp.expl.spec], [temp.explicit]).

[…]

Change and combine paragraphs 4 and 5:

[Note: A non-static member function may be declared const, volatile, or const volatile. Thesewith cv-qualifier⁠s, which affect the type of the this pointer ([classexpr.prim.this]). They also affect the function type ([dcl.fct]) of the member function; a member function declared const is a const member function, a member function declared volatile is a volatile member function and a member function declared const volatile is a const volatile member function. [Example:

[…]

X::g is a const member function and X::h is a const volatile member function. — end example] A non-static member function may be declared withand/or a ref-qualifier ([dcl.fct]); see; both affect overload resolution ([over.match.funcs]). — end note]

[class.this]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [expr.prim.this].

[class.ctor]

Change paragraph 2:

A constructor is used to initialize objects of its class type. [Note: Because constructors do not have names, they are never found during unqualified name lookup; however an explicit type conversion using the functional notation ([expr.type.conv]) will cause a constructor to be called to initialize an object. [Note: The syntax looks like an explicit call of the constructor. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example] [Note: For initialization of objects of class type see [class.init]. — end note]

[class.dtor]

Change paragraph 1:

A prospective destructor is introduced by a declaration whose declarator-id ishas an unqualified-id that begins with a ~ declares a prospective destructor; its declarator shall be a function declarator ([dcl.fct]) of the form

[…]

Change paragraph 12:

A prospective destructor can be declared virtual ([class.virtual]) or pure virtual ([class.abstract]). If the destructor of a class is virtual and any objects of that class or any derived class are created in the program, the destructor shall be defined. If a class has a base class with a virtual destructor, its destructor (whether user- or implicitly-declared) is virtual.

[class.conv]

Remove paragraph 5 (adapted in [class.conv.fct]).
[class.conv.fct]

Change paragraph 1:

A member function of a class X having no parameters with a name of the form

conversion-function-id:

operator conversion-type-id

conversion-type-id:

type-specifier-seq conversion-declaratoropt

conversion-declarator:

ptr-operator conversion-declaratoropt

shall have no parameters and specifies a conversion from X to the type specified by the conversion-type-id, interpreted as a type-id ([dcl.name]). […]

Replace paragraph 4 with [class.conv]/5, with changes as marked:

User-defined conversions are used implicitly only if they are unambiguous. [Note: A conversion function in a derived class does not hides only a conversion functions in a base classes unless the two functionsthat convert to the same type. A conversion function template with a dependent return type hides only templates in base classes that correspond to it ([class.member.lookup]); otherwise, it hides and is hidden as a non-template function. Function overload resolution ([over.match.best]) selects the best conversion function to perform the conversion. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[class.static]

[class.static.mfct]

Change paragraph 2:

[Note: A static member function does not have a this pointer ([classexpr.prim.this]). — end note] A static member function shall not be virtual. There shall not be a static and a non-static member function with the same name and the same parameter types ([over.load]). A static member function shall not be declaredcannot be qualified with const, volatile, or const volatilevirtual. — end note]

[class.static.data]

Change paragraph 3:

The declaration of a non-inline static data member in its class definition is not a definition and may be of an incomplete type other than cv void. The definition for a static data member that is not defined inline in the class definition shall appear in a namespace scope enclosing the member’s class definition. In the definition at namespace scope, the name of the static data member shall be qualified by its class name using the :: operator. [Note: The initializer expression in the definition of a static data member is in the scope of its class ([basic.scope.class]). — end note] [Example:

[…] — end example]

[Note: Once the static data member has been defined, it exists even if no objects of its class have been created. [Example: In the example above, run_chain and running exist even if no objects of class process are created by the program. — end example] The initialization and destruction of static data members are described in [basic.start.static], [basic.start.dynamic], and [basic.start.term]. — end note]

Remove paragraph 7 (re-expressed as the added note text above).

[class.nest]

Change paragraph 1:

A class can be declared within another class. A class declared within another is called a nested class. The name of a nested class is local to its enclosing class. The nested class is in the scope of its enclosing class. [Note: See [expr.prim.id] for restrictions on the use of non-static data members and non-static member functions. — end note]

[Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 4:

Like a member function, aA friend function ([class.friend]) defined within a nested class is in the lexical scope of that class; it obeys the same rules for name binding as a static member function of that class ([class.static]), but it has no special access rights to members of an enclosing class.

[class.nested.type]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [diff.basic]. Update the one cross reference (in [diff.class]/5) to refer to [class.member.lookup].

[class.union.anon]

Change paragraph 1:

A union of the form

union { member-specification } ;

is called an anonymous union; it defines an unnamed type and an unnamed object of that type called an anonymous union objectmember if it is a non-static data member or an anonymous union variable otherwise. Each member-declaration in the member-specification of an anonymous union shall either define aone or more non-static data members or be a static_assert-declaration. Nested types, anonymous unions, and functions shall not be declared within an anonymous union. The names of the members of an anonymous union are bound in the scope inhabited by the union declaration and shall be distinct from the names of any other entity in thethat scope in which the anonymous union is declared. For the purpose of name lookup, after the anonymous union definition, the members of the anonymous union are considered to have been defined in the scope in which the anonymous union is declared. [Example:

[…]

Here a and p are used like ordinary (non-member) variables, but since they are union members they have the same address. — end example]

Change paragraph 2:

Anonymous unions declared in a namedin the scope of a namespace or in the global namespacewith external linkage shall be declared static. Anonymous unions declared at block scope shall be declared with any storage class allowed for a block-scope variable, or with no storage class. A storage class is not allowed in a declaration of an anonymous union in a class scope. An anonymous union shall not have private or protected members ([class.access]). An anonymous union shall not have member functions.

[class.local]

Change paragraph 1:

A class can be declared within a function definition; such a class is called a local class. The name of a local class is local to its enclosing scope. The local class is in the scope of the enclosing scope, and has the same access to names outside the function as does the enclosing function. [Note: […] — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[class.derived]

Change paragraph 2:

The component names of a class-or-decltype are those of its nested-name-specifier, type-name, and/or simple-template-id. A class-or-decltype shall denote a (possibly cv-qualified) class type that is not an incompletely defined class ([class.mem]); any cv-qualifiers are ignored. The class denoted by the class-or-decltype of a base-specifier is called a direct base class for the class being defined. During tThe lookup for a base classthe component name, non-type names are ignored of the type-name or simple-template-id is type-only ([basic.scope.hidinglookup]). A class B is a base class of a class D if it is a direct base class of D or a direct base class of one of D’s base classes. A class is an indirect base class of another if it is a base class but not a direct base class. A class is said to be (directly or indirectly) derived from its (direct or indirect) base classes. [Note: See [class.access] for the meaning of access-specifier. — end note] Unless redeclared in the derived class, members of a base class are also considered to be members of the derived class. Members of a base class other than constructors are said to be inherited by thealso members of the derived class. [Note: Constructors of a base class can also be explicitly inherited as described in ([namespace.udecl]). InheritedBase class members can be referred to in expressions in the same manner as other members of the derived class, unless their names are hidden or ambiguous ([class.member.lookup]). [Note: The scope resolution operator :: ([expr.prim.id.qual]) can be used to refer to a direct or indirect base member explicitly. This allows access to a name that has been redeclared, even if it is hidden in the derived class. A derived class can itself serve as a base class subject to access control; see [class.access.base]. A pointer to a derived class can be implicitly converted to a pointer to an accessible unambiguous base class ([conv.ptr]). An lvalue of a derived class type can be bound to a reference to an accessible unambiguous base class ([dcl.init.ref]). — end note]

[class.virtual]

Change paragraph 1:

A non-static member function is a virtual function if it is first declared with the keyword virtual or if it overrides a virtual member function declared in a base class (see below).[…] [Note: Virtual functions support dynamic binding and object-oriented programming. — end note] A class that declares or inheritswith a virtual member function is called a polymorphic class.[…]

Change paragraph 2:

If a virtual member function vfF is declared in a class BaseB and in a class Derived,D derived (directly or indirectly) from Base,B a declaration of a member function vf with the same name, parameter-type-list ([dcl.fct]), cv-qualification, and ref-qualifier (or absence of same) as Base::vf is declaredG that corresponds ([basic.scope.scope]) to a declaration of F, ignoring trailing requires-clauses, then Derived::vfG overrides[…] Base::vfF. For convenience we say that any virtual function overrides itself. A virtual member function C::vfV of a class object S is a final overrider unless the most derived class ([intro.object]) of which S is a base class subobject (if any) declares or inheritshas another member function that overrides vfV. […]

Remove paragraph 7.

Change paragraph 9:

If the class type in the covariant return type of D::f differs from that of B::f, the class type in the return type of D::f shall be complete at the pointlocus of the overriding declaration of D::f or shall be the class type D. When the overriding function is called as the final overrider of the overridden function, its result is converted to the type returned by the (statically chosen) overridden function ([expr.call]). [Example:

[class.abstract]

Change paragraph 4:

A class is abstract if it contains or inheritshas at least one pure virtual function for which the final overrider is pure virtual. [Example:

[class.access]

Change paragraph 1:

A member of a class can be

  1. private; that is, its name can be usnamed only by members and friends of the class in which it is declared.
  2. protected; that is, its name can be usnamed only by members and friends of the class in which it is declared, by classes derived from that class, and by their friends (see [class.protected]).
  3. public; that is, its name can be usnamed anywhere without access restriction.

[Note: A constructor or destructor can be named by an expression ([basic.def.odr]) even though it has no name. — end note]

Change paragraph 2:

A member of a class can also access all the namemembers to which the class has access. A local class of a member function may access the same namemembers that the member function itself may access.[…]

Change paragraph 4:

Access control is applied uniformly to all names, whether the names are referred to from declarations or expressions. [Note: Access control applies to names nominated by friend declarations ([class.friend]) and using-declaration⁠s ([namespace.udecl]). — end note] In the case of overloaded function names, access control is applied to the function selected by overload resolution or to the using-declarator nominating it, if any. […]

Change paragraph 5:

[Note: Access to members and base classes is controlled, not their visibility ([basic.scope.hiding]). Names of does not prevent members are still visible, andfrom being found by name lookup or implicit conversions to base classes are stillfrom being considered, when those members and base classes are inaccessible. — end note] The interpretation of a given construct is established without regard to access control. If the interpretation established makes use of inaccessible member names or base classes, the construct is ill-formed.

Change paragraph 8:

TheAccess is checked for the names in a default argument ([dcl.fct.default]) are bound at the point of declaration, and access is checked at that point rather than at any points of use of the default argument. Access checking for default arguments in function templates and in member functions of class templates is performed as described in [temp.inst].

[class.friend]

Change paragraph 2:

Declaring a class to be a friend implies that the names of private and protected members from the class granting friendship can be accessed in the base-specifier⁠s and member declarations of the befriended class. [Example:

Change paragraph 6:

A function canmay be defined in a friend declaration of a class if and only if the class is a non-local class ([class.local]), and the function name is unqualified, and the function has namespace scope. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 7:

Such a function is implicitly an inline ([dcl.inline]) function if it is attached to the global module. A friend function defined in a class is in the (lexical) scope of the class in which it is defined. [Note: If aA friend function is defined outside thea class, it is not in the scope of the class ([basic.lookup.unqual]).— end note]

[class.init]

[class.base.init]

Change paragraph 2:

InLookup for an unqualified name in a mem-initializer-id an initial unqualified identifier is looked up in the scope of the constructor’s class and, if not found in that scope, it is looked up in the scope containing the constructor’s definitionignores the constructor’s function parameter scope. [Note: If the constructor’s class contains a member with the same name as a direct or virtual base class of the class, a mem-initializer-id naming the member or base class and composed of a single identifier refers to the class member. A mem-initializer-id for the hidden base class may be specified using a qualified name. — end note] Unless the mem-initializer-id names the constructor’s class, a non-static data member of the constructor’s class, or a direct or virtual base of that class, the mem-initializer is ill-formed.

Change paragraph 4:

If a mem-initializer-id is ambiguous because it designates both a direct non-virtual base class and an inheritedindirect virtual base class, the mem-initializer is ill-formed. [Example:

[class.copy.elision]

Change bullet (1.2):

in a throw-expression ([expr.throw]), when the operand is the name of a non-volatile object with automatic storage duration (other than a function or catch-clause parameter) whosethat belongs to a scope that does not extend beyond the end ofcontain the innermost enclosing compound-statement associated with a try-block (if there is one), the copy/move operation can be omitted by constructing the object directly into the exception object

Change paragraph 2:

[Example:

[…]

Here the criteria for elision can eliminate the copying of the object t with automatic storage duration into the result object for the function call f(), which is the globalnon-local object t2. Effectively, the construction of the local object t can be viewed as directly initializing the global object t2, and that object’s destruction will occur at program exit. Adding a move constructor to Thing has the same effect, but it is the move construction from the object with automatic storage duration to t2 that is elided. — end example]

Change bullet (3.2):

[class.free]

Remove paragraph 3.

Remove paragraph 4, part of which is incorporated in [expr.delete] (q.v.).

Change paragraph 7:

Access to the deallocation function is checked statically. Hence, even though a different one might actually be executed, the statically visible deallocation function is required to be accessible. [Example: For the call on line “// 1” above, if B::operator delete() had been private, the delete expression would have been ill-formed. — end example]

[over]

[over.pre]

Change paragraph 2:

When a function name is usnamed in a call, which function declaration is being referenced and the validity of the call are determined by comparing the types of the arguments at the point of use with the types of the parameters in the declarations that are visible at the point of usein the overload set. This function selection process is called overload resolution and is defined in [over.match]. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[over.load]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [basic.scope.scope]. Update the surviving cross reference (in [class.mem]/5.2) to refer to [basic.scope.scope].

Parts of the notes and examples are adapted in [basic.scope.scope]/3 and [dcl.fct]/5.

[over.dcl]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name (which has no cross references) to [basic.link].

The first example in paragraph 1 is moved to [temp.over.link]/5.

[over.match]

[over.match.funcs]

Insert before paragraph 7:

In each case where conversion functions of a class S are considered for initializing an object or reference of type T, the candidate functions include the result of a search for the conversion-function-id operator T in S. [Note: This search may find a specialization of a conversion function template ([basic.lookup]). — end note] Each such case also defines sets of permissible types for explicit and non-explicit conversion functions; each (non-template) conversion function that is a non-hidden member of S, yields a permissible type, and, for the former set, is non-explicit is also a candidate function. If initializing an object, for any permissible type cv U, any cv2 U, cv2 U&, or cv2 U&& is also a permissible type. If the set of permissible types for explicit conversion functions is empty, any candidates that are explicit are discarded.

Change paragraph 7:

In each case where a candidate is a function template, candidate function template specializations are generated using template argument deduction ([temp.over], [temp.deduct]). If a constructor template or conversion function template has an explicit-specifier whose constant-expression is value-dependent ([temp.dep]), template argument deduction is performed first and then, if the context requires aadmits only candidates that isare not explicit and the generated specialization is explicit ([dcl.fct.spec]), it will be removed from the candidate set. Those candidates are then handled as candidate functions in the usual way.[…] A given name can refer to, or a conversion can consider, one or more function templates and also toas well as a set of non-template functions. In such a case, the candidate functions generated from each function template are combined with the set of non-template candidate functions.

[over.call.func]

Change paragraph 1:

Of interest in [over.call.func] are only those function calls in which the postfix-expression ultimately contains an id-expression name that denotes one or more functions that might be called. […]

Change paragraph 2:

In qualified function calls, the name to be resolvedfunction is named by an id-expression and is preceded by an -> or . operator. Since the construct A->B is generally equivalent to (*A).B, the rest of [over.pre] assumes, without loss of generality, that all member function calls have been normalized to the form that uses an object and the . operator. Furthermore, [over.pre] assumes that the postfix-expression that is the left operand of the . operator has type “cv T” where T denotes a class.[…] Under this assumption, the id-expression in the call is looked up as a member function of T following the rules for looking up names in classes ([class.member.lookup]). The function declarations found by thatname lookup ([class.member.lookup]) constitute the set of candidate functions. The argument list is the expression-list in the call augmented by the addition of the left operand of the . operator in the normalized member function call as the implied object argument ([over.match.funcs]).

Change paragraph 3:

In unqualified function calls, the function is named is not qualified by an -> or . operator and has the more general form of a primary-expression. The name is looked up in the context of the function call following the normal rules for name lookup in expressions ([basic.lookup]). The function declarations found by thatname lookup ([basic.lookup]) constitute the set of candidate functions. Because of the rules for name lookup, the set of candidate functions consists (1) entirely of non-member functions or (2) entirely of member functions of some class T. In case (1), the argument list is the same as the expression-list in the call. In case (2), the argument list is the expression-list in the call augmented by the addition of an implied object argument as in a qualified function call. If the current class is, or is derived, from T and the keyword this ([classexpr.prim.this]) is in scope and refers to class T, or a derived class of Tit, then the implied object argument is (*this). If the keyword this is not in scope or refers to another class, thenOtherwise, a contrived object of type T becomes the implied object argument.[…]; If the argument list is augmented by a contrived object andif overload resolution selects one of thea non-static member functions of T, the call is ill-formed.

[over.call.object]

Change paragraph 1:

If the postfix-expression E in the function call syntax evaluates to a class object of type “cv T”, then the set of candidate functions includes at least the function call operators of T. The function call operators of T are obtained by ordinary lookupthe results of a search for the name operator() in the contextscope of (E).operator()T.

[over.match.oper]

Change bullet (3.2):

TheFor the operators =, [], or ->, the set of non-member candidates is empty; otherwise, it includes the result of the unqualified lookup offor operator@ in the context of the expression according to the usual rules for name lookup in unqualifiedin the rewritten function calls ([basic.lookup.unqual], [basic.lookup.argdep]) except that, ignoring all member functions are ignored. However, if no operand has a class type, only those non-member functions in the lookup set that have a first parameter of type T1 or “reference to cv T1”, when T1 is an enumeration type, or (if there is a right operand) a second parameter of type T2 or “reference to cv T2”, when T2 is an enumeration type, are candidate functions.

[over.match.copy]

Change bullet (1.2):

When the type of the initializer expression is a class type “cv S”, the non-explicit conversion functions of S and its base classes are considered. The permissible types for non-explicit conversion functions are T and any class derived from T. When initializing a temporary object ([class.mem]) to be bound to the first parameter of a constructor where the parameter is of type “reference to cv2 T” and the constructor is called with a single argument in the context of direct-initialization of an object of type “cv3 T”, the permissible types for explicit conversion functions are also consideredthe same; otherwise there are none. Those that are not hidden within S and yield a type whose cv-unqualified version is the same type as T or is a derived class thereof are candidate functions. A call to a conversion function returning “reference to X” is a glvalue of type X, and such a conversion function is therefore considered to yield X for this process of selecting candidate functions.

[over.match.conv]

Change paragraph 1:

Under the conditions specified in [dcl.init], as part of an initialization of an object of non-class type, a conversion function can be invoked to convert an initializer expression of class type to the type of the object being initialized. Overload resolution is used to select the conversion function to be invoked. Assuming that “cv1 T” is the type of the object being initialized, and “cv S” is the type of the initializer expression, with S a class type, the candidate functions are selected as follows:

  1. The conversion functions of S and its base classes are considered. Thosepermissible types for non-explicit conversion functions that are not hidden within S and yield type T or a typethose that can be converted to type T via a standard conversion sequence ([over.ics.scs]) are candidate functions. For direct-initialization, thosethe permissible types for explicit conversion functions that are not hidden within S and yield type T or a typethose that can be converted to type T with a (possibly trivial) qualification conversion ([conv.qual]) are also candidate functions; otherwise there are none. Conversion functions that return a cv-qualified type are considered to yield the cv-unqualified version of that type for this process of selecting candidate functions. A call to a conversion function returning “reference to X” is a glvalue of type X, and such a conversion function is therefore considered to yield X for this process of selecting candidate functions.
[over.match.ref]

Change paragraph 1:

Under the conditions specified in [dcl.init.ref], a reference can be bound directly to the result of applying a conversion function to an initializer expression. Overload resolution is used to select the conversion function to be invoked. Assuming that “reference to cv1 T” is the type of the reference being initialized, and “cv S” is the type of the initializer expression, with S a class type, the candidate functions are selected as follows:

  1. The conversion functions of S and its base classes are considered. Those non-explicit conversion functions that are not hidden within S and yieldLet R be a set of types including “lvalue reference to cv2 T2” (when initializing an lvalue reference or an rvalue reference to function) orandcv2 T2orand “rvalue reference to cv2 T2” (when initializing an rvalue reference or an lvalue reference to function), for any T2. The permissible types for non-explicit conversion functions are the members of R where “cv1 T” is reference-compatible ([dcl.init.ref]) with “cv2 T2, are candidate functions. For direct-initialization, thosethe permissible types for explicit conversion functions that are not hidden within S and yield type “lvalue reference to cv2 T2” (when initializing an lvalue reference or an rvalue reference to function) or “rvalue reference to cv2 T2” (when initializing an rvalue reference or an lvalue reference to function),the members of R where T2 is the same type as T or can be converted to type T with a (possibly trivial) qualification conversion ([conv.qual]), are also candidate functions; otherwise there are none.

[over.match.best]

Change paragraph 4:

If the best viable function resolves to a function for which multiple declarations were found, and if at leastany two of these declarations — or the declarations they refer to in the case of using-declaration⁠s —inhabit different scopes and specify a default argument that made the function viable, the program is ill-formed. [Example:

[over.over]

Change paragraph 1:

A use of a function nameAn id-expression whose name refers to an overload set S and that appears without arguments is resolved to a function, a pointer to function, or a pointer to member function for a specific function that is chosen from a set of selected functions selected from S determined based on the target type required in the context (if any), as described below. The target can be

  1. an object or reference being initialized ([dcl.init], [dcl.init.ref], [dcl.init.list]),
  2. the left side of an assignment ([expr.ass]),
  3. a parameter of a function ([expr.call]),
  4. a parameter of a user-defined operator ([over.oper]),
  5. the return value of a function, operator function, or conversion ([stmt.return]),
  6. an explicit type conversion ([expr.type.conv], [expr.static.cast], [expr.cast]), or
  7. a non-type template-parameter ([temp.arg.nontype]).

[Note: […] — end note]

Change paragraph 4:

Non-member functions and static member functions match targets of function pointer type or reference to function type. Non-static member functions match targets of pointer-to-member-function type.

In a function template declaration, the last componentunqualified-id of the declarator-id shall not be a template-idname. [Note: That last component may be an identifier, an operator-function-id, a conversion-function-id, or a literal-operator-id. In a class template declaration, if the class nameclass-name is a simple-template-id, the declaration declares a class template partial specialization ([temp.class.spec]). — end note]

Change paragraph 6:

A template name has linkage ([basic.link]). A sSpecializations (explicit or implicit) of aone template that has internal linkage are distinct from all specializations inof any other translation unitstemplate. A template, a template explicit specialization ([temp.expl.spec]), and a class template partial specialization shall not have C linkage. Use of a linkage specification other than "C" or "C++" with any of these constructs is conditionally-supported, with implementation-defined semantics. Template definitions shall obey the one-definition rule ([basic.def.odr]). [Note: Default arguments for function templates and for member functions of class templates are considered definitions for the purpose of template instantiation ([temp.decls]) and must also obey the one-definition rule ([basic.def.odr]). — end note]

Change paragraph 7:

[Note: A class template shall cannot have the same name as any other template, class, function, variable, enumeration, enumerator, namespace, or typename bound in the same scope ([basic.scope.scope]), except as specified in [temp.class.spec]. Except that a function template can be overloaded either bywith non-template functions ([dcl.fct]) with the same name or by otherand/or function templates with the same name ([temp.over]), a template name declared in namespace scope or in class scope shall be unique in that scope. Specializations, including partial specializations ([temp.class.spec]), do not reintroduce or bind names. Their target scope is that of the primary template, so all specializations of a template belong to its scope. — end note]

Change paragraph 8:

[temp.param]

Change paragraph 1:

Change paragraph 2:

For a template-name to be explicitly qualified by the template arguments, the name must be considered to refer to a template. [Note: Whether a name actually refers to a template cannot be known in some cases until after argument dependent lookup is done ([basic.lookup.argdep]). — end note] A name< is considered to refer tointerpreted as the delimiter of a templatetemplate-argument-list if it follows a name that is not a conversion-function-id and

  3. A name is also considered to refer to a template if itthat is an unqualified-id followed by a < andunqualified name for which name lookup either finds one or more functions or finds nothing., or
  4. that is a terminal name in a using-declarator ([namespace.udecl]), a declarator-id ([dcl.meaning]), or a type-only context ([temp.res]).

[Note: If the name is an identifier, it is then interpreted as a template-name. The keyword template is used to indicate that a dependent qualified name ([temp.dep.type]) denotes a template where an expression might appear. — end note]

Move the example from paragraph 4 to the end of paragraph 2.

Change paragraph 3:

When a name is considered to be a template-name, and it is followed by a <, the < is always taken as the delimiter of a template-argument-list and never as the less-than operator. When parsing a template-argument-list, the first non-nested >[…] is taken as the ending delimiter rather than a greater-than operator. Similarly, the first non-nested >> is treated as two consecutive but distinct > tokens, the first of which is taken as the end of the template-argument-list and completes the template-id. [Note: The second > token produced by this replacement rule may terminate an enclosing template-id construct or it may be part of a different construct (e.g., a cast).— end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 4:

The keyword template is said to appear at the top level in a qualified-id if it appears outside of a template-argument-list or decltype-specifier. In a qualified-id of a declarator-id or in a qualified-id formed by a class-head-name ([class.pre]) or enum-head-name ([dcl.enum]), the keyword template shall not appear at the top levelimmediately after a declarative nested-name-specifier ([expr.prim.id.qual]). In a qualified-id used as the name in a typename-specifier ([temp.res]), elaborated-type-specifier ([dcl.type.elab]), using-declaration ([namespace.udecl]), or class-or-decltype ([class.derived]), an optional keyword template appearing at the top level is ignored. In these contexts, a < token is always assumed to introduce a template-argument-list. In all other contexts, when naming a template specialization of a member of an unknown specialization ([temp.dep.type]), the member template name shall be prefixed by the keyword template. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 5:

A name prefixed by the keyword template shall be a template-idfollowed by a template argument list or the name shall refer to a class template or an alias template. The latter case is deprecated ([depr.template.template]). The keyword template shall not appear immediately before a ~ token (as to name a destructor). [Note: The keyword template may not be applied to non-template members of class templates. — end note][Note: As is the case with the typename prefix, the template prefix is allowed in cases where it is not strictly necessary; i.e., when the nested-name-specifier or the expression on the left of the -> or . is not dependent on a template-parameter, or the use does not appear in the scope ofeven when lookup for the name would already find a template. — end note] [Example:
template <class T> struct A {
  void f(int);
  template <class U> void f(U);
};

template <class T> void f(T t) {
  A<T> a;

Insert before paragraph 2:

The template argument list of a template-head is a template argument list in which the nth template argument has the value of the nth template parameter of the template-head. If the nth template parameter is a template parameter pack ([temp.variadic]), the nth template argument is a pack expansion whose pattern is the name of the template parameter pack.

Any partial specializations ([temp.class.spec]) associated with the primary class template or primary variable template are considered when a specialization based on the template template-parameter is instantiated. If a specialization is not visible atreachable from the point of instantiation, and it would have been selected had it been visiblereachable, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

[temp.decls]

[temp.class]

Change paragraph 3:

[Note: When a member function, a member class, a member enumeration, a static data member or a member template of a class template is defined outside of the class template definition, the member definition is defined as a template definition in which thewith a template-head is equivalent to that of the class template ([temp.over.link]). The names of the template parameters used in the definition of the member may be differentcan differ from the template parameter names used in the class template definition. The template argument list following the class template name in the member definition shall name the parameters in the same order as the one used in the template parameter list of the memberis followed by the template argument list of the template-head ([temp.arg]). Each template parameter pack shall be expanded with an ellipsis in the template argument list. [Example:

[…]

— end example] — end note]

Change paragraph 4:

In a redeclaration, partial specialization, explicit specialization or explicit instantiation of a class template, the class-key shall agree in kind with the original class template declaration ([dcl.type.elab]).

[temp.mem]

Change paragraph 5:

[Note: A specialization of a conversion function template is referenced in the same way as a non-template conversion function that converts to the same type ([class.conv.fct]). [Example:

[…]

— end example] [Note: There is no syntax to form a template-id ([temp.names]) by providing an explicit template argument list ([temp.arg.explicit]) for a conversion function template ([class.conv.fct]). — end note]

Remove paragraphs 6 through 8.

[temp.friend]

Change paragraph 1:

A friend of a class or class template can be a function template or class template, a specialization of a function template or class template, or a non-template function or class. For a friend function declaration that is not a template declaration:

  1. if the name of the friend is a qualified or unqualified template-id, the friend declaration refers to a specialization of a function template, otherwise,
  2. if the name of the friend is a qualified-id and a matching non-template function is found in the specified class or namespace, the friend declaration refers to that function, otherwise,
  3. if the name of the friend is a qualified-id and a matching function template is found in the specified class or namespace, the friend declaration refers to the deduced specialization of that function template ([temp.deduct.decl]), otherwise,
  4. the name shall be an unqualified-id that declares (or redeclares) a non-template function.

[Example:

[…] — end example]

Move [temp.inject]/1 before paragraph 2 and change it:

Friend classes or, class templates, functions, or function templates can be declared within a class template. When a template is instantiated, the names of its friends declarations are treated as if the specialization had been explicitly declared at its point of instantiation. [Note: They may introduce entities that belong to an enclosing namespace scope ([dcl.meaning]). — end note]

Remove paragraph 5 (whose substance is incorporated in the above).

[temp.class.spec]

Change paragraph 1:

A primary class template declaration is one in which the class template nameclass-name is an identifier. A template declaration in which the class template nameclass-name is a simple-template-id is a partial specialization of the class template named in the simple-template-id. A partial specialization of a class template provides an alternative definition of the template that is used instead of the primary definition when the arguments in a specialization match those given in the partial specialization ([temp.class.spec.match]). TheA declaration of the primary template shall be declared beforeprecede any specializations of that template. A partial specialization shall be declared before the firstbe reachable from any use of a class template specialization that would make use of the partial specialization as the result of an implicit or explicit instantiation in every translation unit in which such a use occurs; no diagnostic is required.

Change paragraph 2:

Two partial specialization declarations declare the same entity if they are partial specializations of the same template and have equivalent template-heads and template argument lists ([temp.over.link]). Each class template partial specialization is a distinct template and definitions shall be provided for the members of a template partial specialization ([temp.class.spec.mfunc]).

Change paragraph 7:

Partial specialization declarations themselves are not found by name lookupdo not introduce a name. RatherInstead, when the primary template name is used, any previously-declaredreachable partial specializations of the primary template are also considered. One consequence is that a using-declaration which refers to a class template does not restrict the set of partial specializations which may be found through the using-declaration. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Insert before paragraph 8:

A specialization of a class template partial specialization that has been declared but not defined is an incomplete type ([basic.types]).

[temp.class.spec.mfunc]

Change paragraph 1:

The template parameter list of a member of a class template partial specialization shall match the template parameter list of the class template partial specialization. The template argument list of a member of a class template partial specialization shall match the template argument list of the class template partial specialization. A class template partial specialization is a distinct template. The members of the class template partial specialization are unrelated to the members of the primary template. Class template partial specialization members that are used in a way that requires a definition shall be defined; the definitions of members of the primary template are never used as definitions for members of a class template partial specialization. An explicit specialization of a member of a class template partial specialization is declared in the same way as an explicit specialization of the primary template. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 5, adding the first example from [over.dcl]/1:

[…] For determining whether two dependent names ([temp.dep]) are equivalent, only the name itself is considered, not the result of name lookup in the context of the template. [Note: If multiple declarations of the same function template differ in the result of thissuch a dependent name lookupis unqualified, the result forit is looked up from the first declaration is usedof the function template ([temp.dep.candidate]). — end note] […] [Note: For instance, one could have redundant parentheses. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 7:

Two function templates are equivalent if they are declared in the same scope, have the same name, have equivalent template-head⁠s, and have return types, parameter lists, and trailing requires-clause⁠s (if any) that are equivalent using the rules described above to compare expressions involving template parameters. Two function templates are functionally equivalent if they are declared in the same scope, have the same name, accept and are satisfied by the same set of template argument lists, and have return types and parameter lists that are functionally equivalent using the rules described above to compare expressions involving template parameters. If the validity or meaning of the program depends on whether two constructs are equivalent, and they are functionally equivalent but not equivalent, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

[temp.res]

Replace paragraph 1:

A name that appears in a template declaration is looked up from where it appears in the first declaration of the template that contains it. If the name is dependent (as specified in [temp.dep]), it is looked up for each specialization (after substitution) because the lookup depends on a template parameter. [Note: Some dependent names are also looked up during parsing to determine that they are dependent or to interpret following < tokens. Uses of other names might be type-dependent or value-dependent ([temp.dep.expr], [temp.dep.constexpr]). A using-declarator is never dependent in a specialization and is therefore replaced during lookup for that specialization ([basic.lookup]). — end note] [Example:

struct A {operator int();};
template<class B,class T>
struct D : B {
  T get() {return operator T();}     // conversion-function-id is dependent
};
int f(D<A,int> d) {return d.get();}  // OK: lookup finds A::operator int

— end example]

Move the example from paragraph 10 and the second example from [temp.dep]/4 to the end of paragraph 1.

Replace paragraph 2 (but not the grammar following it):

If the validity or meaning of the program would be changed by considering a default argument or default template argument introduced in a declaration that is reachable from the point of instantiation of a specialization ([temp.point]) but is not found by lookup for the specialization, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

Change paragraph 3:

The component names of a typename-specifier are its identifier (if any) and those of its nested-name-specifier and simple-template-id (if any). A typename-specifier denotes the type or class template denoted by the simple-type-specifier ([dcl.type.simple]) formed by omitting the keyword typename. [Note: The usual qualified name lookup ([basic.lookup.qual]) is used to find the qualified-idapplies even in the presence of typename. — end note] [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Remove paragraph 4.

Change paragraph 5:

A qualified-idqualified or unqualified name is assumedsaid to namebe in a type-only context if it is the terminal name of

  1. it is a qualified name in a type-id-only context (see below)typename-specifier, nested-name-specifier, elaborated-type-specifier, class-or-decltype, or
  2. a type-specifier of a new-type-id, defining-type-id, conversion-type-id, trailing-return-type, default argument of a type-parameter, or type-id of a static_cast, const_cast, reinterpret_cast, or dynamic_cast, or
  3. it is a decl-specifier of the decl-specifier-seq of a
    1. simple-declaration or a function-definition in namespace scope,
    2. member-declaration,
    3. parameter-declaration in a member-declaration[…], unless that parameter-declaration appears in a default argument,
    4. parameter-declaration in a declarator of a function or function template declaration whose declarator-id is qualified, unless that parameter-declaration appears in a default argument,
    5. parameter-declaration in a lambda-declarator, unless that parameter-declaration appears in a default argument, or
    6. parameter-declaration of a (non-type) template-parameter.

A qualified name is said to be in a type-id-only context if it appears in a type-id, new-type-id, or defining-type-id and the smallest enclosing type-id, new-type-id, or defining-type-id is a new-type-id, defining-type-id, trailing-return-type, default argument of a type-parameter of a template, or type-id of a static_cast, const_cast, reinterpret_cast, or dynamic_cast. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 6:

A qualified-id that refers to a member of an unknown specialization, that is not prefixed by typename, andwhose terminal name is dependent and that is not otherwise assumed to namein a type-only context (see above)is considered to denotes a non-type. A name that refers to a using-declarator whose terminal name is dependent is interpreted as a typedef-name if the using-declarator uses the keyword typename. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Remove paragraph 7.

Change paragraph 8:

[…] [Example:
int j;
template<class T> class X {
  void f(T t, int i, char* p) {
    t = i;          // diagnosed if X::f is instantiated, and the assignment to t is an error
    p = i;          // may be diagnosed even if X::f is not instantiated
    p = j;          // may be diagnosed even if X::f is not instantiated
    X<T>::g(t);     // OK
    X<T>::h();      // may be diagnosed even if X::f is not instantiated
  }
  void g(T t) {
    +;              // may be diagnosed even if X::g is not instantiated
  }
};

template<class... T> struct A {
  void operator++(int, T... t);                     // error: too many parameters
};
template<class... T> union X : T... { };            // error: union with base class
template<class... T> struct A : T...,  T... { };    // error: duplicate base class

— end example]

Remove paragraphs 9 and 10 (whose example is moved to paragraph 1).

[temp.local]

Change paragraph 3:

The injected-class-name of a class template or class template specialization can be used as either a template-name or a type-name wherever it is in scopenamed. [Example:
template <class T> struct Base {
  Base* p;
};

template <class T> struct Derived: public Base<T> {
  typename Derived::Base* p;            // meaning Derived::Base<T>
};

template<class T, template<class> class U = T::template Base> struct Third { };
Third<Derived<int> > t;                 // OK: default argument uses injected-class-name as a template

— end example]

Change paragraph 6:

The name of a template-parameter shall not be redeclared within itsbound to any following declaration contained by the scope (including nested scopes)to which the template-parameter belongs. A template-parameter shall not have the same name as the template name. [Example:
template<class T, int i> class Y {
  int T;                                // error: template-parameter redeclaredhidden
  void f() {
    char T;                             // error: template-parameter redeclaredhidden
  }
  friend void T();                      // OK: no name bound
};

template<class X> class X;              // error: hidden by template-parameter redeclared

— end example]

Change paragraph 7:

In the definition of a memberUnqualified name lookup considers the template parameter scope of a template-declaration before any scope that contains the template declared (even if it does not contain the template-parameter-list). [Note: The scope of a class template that appears outside of the class template definition, the name of a member of the class template hides the name of a template-parameter of any enclosing class templates (but not a template-parameter of the member if the member is a class or function template), including its non-dependent base classes ([temp.dep.type], [class.member.lookup]), is searched before its template parameter scope. — end note] [Example:
struct B { };
namespace N {
  typedef void V;
  template<class T> struct A : B {
  struct B { /* ... */ };
    typedef void C;
    void f();
    template<class U> void g(U);
  };
}

template<class BV> void N::A<BV>::f() {
  BV bv;              // A's B, notV is the template parameter, not N::V

template<class B> template<class C> void N::A<B>::g(C) {
  B b;              // A's Bthe base class, not the template parameter
  C c;              // the template parameter C, not A's C
}

— end example]

Remove paragraphs 8 and 9 (whose examples are merged into the above).

[temp.dep]

Change paragraph 2:

InA dependent call is an expression, possibly formed as a non-member candidate for an operator ([over.match.oper]), of the form:

postfix-expression ( expression-listopt )

where the postfix-expression is an unqualified-id, the unqualified-id denotes a dependent name if and

  1. any of the expressions in the expression-list is a pack expansion ([temp.variadic]),
  2. any of the expressions or braced-init-list⁠s in the expression-list is type-dependent ([temp.dep.expr]), or
  3. the unqualified-id is a template-id in which any of the template arguments depends on a template parameter.

If an operand of an operator is a type-dependent expression, the operator also denotes a dependent name. The component name of an unqualified-id is dependent if

  1. it is a conversion-function-id whose conversion-type-id is dependent, or
  2. it is operator= and the current class is a templated entity, or
  3. the unqualified-id is the postfix-expression in a dependent call.

[Note: Such names are unbound and are looked up only at the point of the template instantiation ([temp.point]) in both the context of the template definition and the context of the point of instantiation ([temp.dep.candidate]). — end note]

Remove paragraph 4 (whose example is moved to [temp.res]/1).
[temp.dep.type]

Change paragraph 1:

A name or template-id refers to the current instantiation if it is

  1. in the definition of a class template, a nested class of a class template, a member of a class template, or a member of a nested class of a class template, the injected-class-name ([class.pre]) of the class template or nested class,
  2. in the definition of a primary class template or a member of a primary class template, the name of the class template followed by the template argument list of the primary templateits template-head (as described below[temp.arg]) enclosed in <> (or an equivalent template alias specialization),

Remove paragraph 2 (adapted in [temp.arg]).

Change paragraph 5:

A qualified ([basic.lookup.qual]) or unqualified name is a member of the current instantiation if it is

  1. its lookup context, if it is a qualified name, is the current instantiation, and
  2. An unqualified name that, when looked up, refers to at least onelookup for it finds any member of a class that is the current instantiation or a non-dependent base class thereof. [Note: This can only occur when looking up a name in a scope enclosed by the definition of a class template. — end note]
  3. A qualified-id in which the nested-name-specifier refers to the current instantiation and that, when looked up, refers to at least one member of a class that is the current instantiation or a non-dependent base class thereof. [Note: If no such member is found, and the current instantiation has any dependent base classes, then the qualified-id is a member of an unknown specialization; see below. — end note]
  4. An id-expression denoting the member in a class member access expression ([expr.ref]) for which the type of the object expression is the current instantiation, and the id-expression, when looked up ([basic.lookup.classref]), refers to at least one member of a class that is the current instantiation or a non-dependent base class thereof. [Note: If no such member is found, and the current instantiation has any dependent base classes, then the id-expression is a member of an unknown specialization; see below. — end note]

[Example:

A qualified or unqualified name isnames a dependent member of the current instantiation if it is a member of the current instantiation that, when looked up, refers to at least one member declaration (including a using-declarator whose terminal name is dependent) of a class that is the current instantiation.

Change paragraph 6:

A qualified name ([basic.lookup.qual]) is a member of an unknown specializationdependent if it is

  1. it is a conversion-function-id whose conversion-type-id is dependent, or
  2. A qualified-id in which the nested-name-specifier namesits lookup context is a dependent type thatand is not the current instantiation., or
  3. its lookup context is the current instantiation and it is operator=[Footnote: Every instantiation of a class template declares a different set of assignment operators. — end footnote], or
  4. A qualified-id in which the nested-name-specifier refers toits lookup context is the current instantiation, the current instantiation and has at least one dependent base class, and qualified name lookup offor the qualified-idname does not finds nothing ([basic.lookup.qual]) any member of a class that is the current instantiation or a non-dependent base class thereof.

Remove paragraph 7 (part of whose example is added to that in [temp.res]/8).

Change paragraph 8:

If, for a given set of template arguments, a specialization of a template is instantiated that refers to a member of the current instantiation with a qualified-id or class member access expressionqualified name, the name in the qualified-id or class member access expression is looked up in the template instantiation context. If the result of this lookup differs from the result of name lookup in the template definition context, name lookup is ambiguous. [Example:

  2. denoted by a member of an unknown specializationdependent (qualified) name,
  3. a nested class or enumeration that is a dependentdirect member of a class that is the current instantiation,
  4. a cv-qualified type where the cv-unqualified type is dependent,
  5. a compound type constructed from any dependent type,
  6. an array type whose element type is dependent or whose bound (if any) is value-dependent,
  7. a function type whose exception specification is value-dependent,
  8. denoted by a simple-template-id in which either the template name is a template parameter or any of the template arguments is a dependent type or an expression that is type-dependent or value-dependent or is a pack expansion [Note: This includes an injected-class-name ([class.pre]) of a class template used without a template-argument-list. — end note], or
  9. denoted by decltype(expression), where expression is type-dependent ([temp.dep.expr]).
[temp.dep.expr]

Change paragraph 2:

this is type-dependent if the current class type of the enclosing member function ([expr.prim.this]) is dependent ([temp.dep.type]).

Change paragraph 3:

An id-expression is type-dependent if it is a template-id that is not a concept-id and it containsis dependent; or if its terminal name is

  1. an identifier associated by name lookup with one or more declarations declared with a dependent type,
  2. an identifier associated by name lookup with a non-type template-parameter declared with a type that contains a placeholder type ([dcl.spec.auto]),
  3. an identifier associated by name lookup with a variable declared with a type that contains a placeholder type ([dcl.spec.auto]) where the initializer is type-dependent,
  4. an identifier associated by name lookup with one or more declarations of member functions of a class that is the current instantiation declared with a return type that contains a placeholder type,

Change paragraph 5:

A class member access expression ([expr.ref]) is type-dependent if the terminal name of its id-expression, if any, is dependent or the expression refers to a member of the current instantiation and the type of the referenced member is dependent, or the class member access expression refers to a member of an unknown specialization. [Note: In an expression of the form x.y or xp->y the type of the expression is usually the type of the member y of the class of x (or the class pointed to by xp). However, if x or xp refers to a dependent type that is not the current instantiation, the type of y is always dependent. If x or xp refers to a non-dependent type or refers to the current instantiation, the type of y is the type of the class member access expression. — end note]

A template template-argument is dependent if it names a template-parameter or its terminal name is a qualified-id that refers to a member of an unknown specializationdependent.

[temp.nondep]

Remove subclause, referring the stable name to [temp.res]. Remove the cross reference in [basic.def.odr]/14. Update the one surviving cross reference (in [basic.link]/13.3) to refer to [temp.res].

[temp.dep.candidate]

Change paragraph 1:

For a function call where the postfix-expression is a dependent name, the candidate functions are found using the usual lookup rules from the template definition context ([basic.lookup.unqual], [basic.lookup.argdep]). [Note: For the part of the lookup using associated namespaces ([basic.lookup.argdep]), function declarations found in the template instantiation context are found by this lookup, as described in [basic.lookup.argdep]. — end note] If thea dependent call ([temp.dep]) would be ill-formed or would find a better match had the lookup within the associated namespacesfor its dependent name considered all the function declarations with external linkage introduced in thosethe associated namespaces in all translation units, not just considering those declarations found in the template definition and template instantiation contexts ([basic.lookup.argdep]), then the program has undefined behavioris ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

[temp.spec]

Change paragraph 3:

An explicit specialization may be declared for a function template, a variable template, a class template, a member of a class template, or a member template. An explicit specialization declaration is introduced by template<>. In an explicit specialization declaration for a variable template, a class template, a member of a class template, or a class member template, the name of the variable or class that is explicitly specialized shall be specified with a simple-template-id. In the explicit specialization declaration for a function template or a member function template, the name of the function or member function explicitly specialized may be specified using a template-id.

[temp.inst]

Remove paragraph 12.

[temp.explicit]

Change paragraph 4:

If the explicit instantiation is for a class or member class, the elaborated-type-specifier in the declaration shall include a simple-template-id; otherwise, the declaration shall be a simple-declaration whose init-declarator-list comprises a single init-declarator that does not have an initializer. If the explicit instantiation is for a function or member function, the unqualified-id in the declarator shall be either a template-id or, where all template arguments can be deduced, a template-name or operator-function-id. [Note: The declaration may declare a qualified-id, in which case the unqualified-id of the qualified-id must be a template-id. — end note] If the explicit instantiation is for a member function, a member class or a static data member of a class template specialization, the name of the class template specialization in the qualified-id for the member name shall be a simple-template-id. If the explicit instantiation is for a variable template specialization, the unqualified-id in the declarator shall be a simple-template-id. An explicit instantiation shall appear in an enclosing namespace of its template. If the name declared in the explicit instantiation is an unqualified name, the explicit instantiation shall appear in the namespace where its template is declared or, if that namespace is inline ([namespace.def]), any namespace from its enclosing namespace set. [Note: Regarding qualified names in declarators, see [dcl.meaning]. — end note] [Example:

[…]

Change paragraph 5:

An explicit instantiation does not introduce a name ([basic.scope.scope]). A declaration of a function template, a variable template, a member function or static data member of a class template, or a member function template of a class or class template shall precedebe reachable from any explicit instantiation of that entity. A definition of a class template, a member class of a class template, or a member class template of a class or class template shall precedebe reachable from any explicit instantiation of that entity unless the explicit instantiation is preceded by an explicit specialization of the entity with the same template arguments is reachable therefrom. If the declaration of the explicit instantiation names an implicitly-declared special member function ([special]), the program is ill-formed.

Remove paragraph 8.

Change paragraph 9:

A trailing template-argument can be left unspecified in an explicit instantiation of a function template specialization or of a member function template specialization provided it can be deduced from the type of a function parameter ([temp.deduct.decl]). If all template arguments can be deduced, the empty template argument list <> may be omitted. [Example:

[…]

— end example]

Change paragraph 11:

An explicit instantiation that names a class template specialization is also an explicit instantiation of the same kind (declaration or definition) of each of its direct non-template members (not including members inherited from base classes and members that are templates) that has not been previously explicitly specialized in the translation unit containing the explicit instantiation, provided that the associated constraints, if any, of that member are satisfied by the template arguments of the explicit instantiation ([temp.constr.decl], [temp.constr.constr]), except as described below. [Note: In addition, it will typically be an explicit instantiation of certain implementation-dependent data about the class. — end note]

[temp.expl.spec]

Change paragraph 4:

An explicit specialization does not introduce a name ([basic.scope.scope]). A declaration of a function template, class template, or variable template being explicitly specialized shall precedebe reachable from the declaration of the explicit specialization. [Note: A declaration, but not a definition of the template is required. — end note] The definition of a class or class template shall precedebe reachable from the declaration of an explicit specialization for a member template of the class or class template.

If such an explicit specialization for the member of a class template names an implicitly-declared special member function ([special]), the program is ill-formed.

Remove paragraph 9.

Change paragraph 11:

A trailing template-argument can be left unspecified in the template-id naming an explicit function template specialization provided it can be deduced from the function argument type ([temp.deduct.decl]). [Example:

[temp.fct.spec]

[temp.arg.explicit]

Change paragraph 4:

Trailing template arguments that can be deduced ([temp.deduct]) or obtained from default template-argument⁠s may be omitted from the list of explicit template-argument⁠s. [Note: A trailing template parameter pack ([temp.variadic]) not otherwise deduced will be deduced as an empty sequence of template arguments. — end note] If all of the template arguments can be deduced, they may all be omitted; in this case, the empty template argument list <> itself may also be omitted. In contexts where deduction is done and fails, or in contexts where deduction is not done, if a template argument list is specified and it, along with any default template arguments, identifies a single function template specialization, then the template-id is an lvalue for the function template specialization.

[temp.deduct]

Change example in bullet (11.4):

[Example:
template <int I> struct X { };
template <template <class T> class> struct Z { };
template <class T> void f(typename T::Y*){}
template <class T> void g(X<T::N>*){}
template <class T> void h(Z<T::template TT>*){}
struct A {};
struct B { int Y; };
struct C {
  typedef int N;
};
struct D {
  typedef int TT;
};

int main() {
  // Deduction fails in each of these cases:
  f<A>(0);          // A does not contain a member Y
  f<B>(0);          // The Y member of B is not a type
  g<C>(0);          // The N member of C is not a non-type
  h<D>(0);          // The TT member of D is not a template
}

— end example]

[temp.deduct.conv]

Change paragraph 1:

Template argument deduction is done by comparing the return type of the conversion function template (call it P) with the type that is required as the resultspecified by the conversion-type-id of the conversionconversion-function-id being looked up (call it A; see [dcl.init], [over.match.conv], and [over.match.ref] for the determination of that type) as described in [temp.deduct.type]. If the conversion-function-id is constructed during overload resolution ([over.match.funcs]), the following transformations apply.

Change paragraph 5:

In general, the deduction process attempts to find template argument values that will make the deduced A identical to A. However, there are four cases that allow a differencecertain attributes of A may be ignored:

  1. If the original A is a reference type, any cv-qualifiers of A can be more cv-qualified than the deduced A (i.e., the type referred to by the reference).
  2. If the original A is a function pointer or pointer-to-member-function type, A can be “pointer to function” even if the deduced A is “pointer to its noexcept function”.
  3. If the original A is a pointer-to-member-function type, A can be “pointer to member of type function” even if the deduced A is “pointer to member of type noexcept function”.
  4. The deducedAny cv-qualifiers in A can be another pointer or pointer-to-member type that can be converted to A viarestored by a qualification conversion.

Change paragraph 6:

These alternativesattributes are consideredignored only if type deduction would otherwise fail. If they yieldignoring them allows more than one possible deduced A, the type deduction fails.

[temp.over]

Change paragraph 1:

When a call to the name of a function or function template is written (explicitly, or implicitly using the operator notation), template argument deduction ([temp.deduct]) and checking of any explicit template arguments ([temp.arg]) are performed for each function template to find the template argument values (if any) that can be used with that function template to instantiate a function template specialization that can be invoked with the call arguments or, for conversion function templates, that can convert to the required type. For each function template, if the argument deduction and checking succeeds, the template-argument⁠s (deduced and/or explicit) are used to synthesize the declaration of a single function template specialization which is added to the candidate functions set to be used in overload resolution. If, for a given function template, argument deduction fails or the synthesized function template specialization would be ill-formed, no such function is added to the set of candidate functions for that template. The complete set of candidate functions includes all the synthesized declarations and all of the non-template overloaded functions of the same namefound by name lookup. The synthesized declarations are treated like any other functions in the remainder of overload resolution, except as explicitly noted in [over.match.best].[…]

[except]

[except.handle]

Remove paragraph 11.

Change paragraph 12:

Exceptions thrown in destructors of objects with static storage duration or in constructors of namespace-scope objects associated with non-block variables with static storage duration are not caught by a function-try-block on the main function ([basic.start.main]). Exceptions thrown in destructors of objects with thread storage duration or in constructors of namespace-scope objects associated with non-block variables with thread storage duration are not caught by a function-try-block on the initial function of the thread.

[except.terminate]

Change bullet (1.5):

when initialization of a non-localblock variable with static or thread storage duration ([basic.start.dynamic]) exits via an exception, or

[concept.booleantestable]

Change paragraph 2:

Let e be an expression such that decltype((e)) is T. T models boolean-testable-impl only if:

  1. either remove_cvref_t<T> is not a class type, or name lookupa search for the names operator&& and operator|| within the scope of remove_cvref_t<T> as if by class member access lookup ([class.member.lookup]) results in an empty declaration setfinds nothing; and
  2. nameargument-dependent lookup ([basic.lookup.argdep]) for the names operator&& and operator|| in the associated namespaces and entities ofwith T ([basic.lookup.argdep]) as the only argument type finds no disqualifying declaration (defined below).

Change bullet (5.2.3):

the declaration declares a function template that is not visible in its namespaceto which no name is bound ([namespace.memdefdcl.meaning]).

[diff.basic]

Change paragraph 2 (the example is based on that from the removed [class.nested.type]):

Affected subclause: [basic.scope]
Change: A struct is a scope in C++, not in C.
For example,

struct X {
  struct Y { int a; } b;
};
struct Y c;

is valid in C but not in C++, which would require X::Y c;.
Rationale: Class scope is crucial to C++, and a struct is a class.
Effect on original feature: Change to semantics of well-defined feature.
Difficulty of converting: Semantic transformation.
How widely used: C programs use struct extremely frequently, but the change is only noticeable when struct, enumeration, or enumerator names are referred to outside the struct. The latter is probably rare.

[depr.template.template]

Add this subclause before [depr.c.headers]:

The use of the keyword template before the qualified name of a class or alias template without a template argument list is deprecated.
