Dear list,
I would like to discuss the behavior of constructors with default
arguments in
GCC.
In Clang, if a constructor redeclared with a default argument, it throws an
error, indicating the constructor has become a default constructor. The
early
detection helps prevent potential issues for users.
Here is an example to illustrate the issue.
class Example {
Example(int arg);
Example(float arg);
};
Example::Example(int arg = 0) {
}
Example::Example(float arg = 0) {
}
When compiled with Clang, the following error is generated:
error: addition of default argument on redeclaration makes this
constructor a default constructor
Will GCC consider implementing a similar warning for this situation?
