1192. Inadvertent change to ODR and templates

[Voted into the WP at the March, 2011 meeting as part of paper N3262.]

Issue 678 added a bullet to the list in 6.3 [basic.def.odr] paragraph 5, inadvertently removing the second bullet from the reach of the part of that paragraph that reads,

If D is a template and is defined in more than one translation unit, then the last four requirements from the list above shall apply to names from the template's enclosing scope used in the template definition (_N4868_.13.8.4 [temp.nondep]),

In fixing this error, the wording should be recast to be more robust in the face of possible further edits to the list (i.e., not just changing “four” to “five”).

Proposed resolution (November, 2010) [SUPERSEDED]:

Change 6.3 [basic.def.odr] paragraph 5 as follows:

...If D is a template and is defined in more than one translation unit, then the last four preceding requirements from the list above shall apply both to names from the template's enclosing scope used in the template definition (_N4868_.13.8.4 [temp.nondep]), and also to dependent names at the point of instantiation (13.8.3 [temp.dep])...
