1327. virt-specifier in a defaulted definition

[Voted into the WP at the February, 2012 meeting; moved to DR at the October, 2012 meeting.]

The grammar for defaulted and deleted functions in 9.5.2 [dcl.fct.def.default] and 9.5.3 [dcl.fct.def.delete] does not provide for virt-specifiers. Is there a reason for this omission, or was it inadvertent?

Proposed resolution (August, 2011):

1. Change 9.5.2 [dcl.fct.def.default] paragraph 1 as follows:

A function definition of the form:

attribute-specifier-seq_opt decl-specifier-seq_opt declarator virt-specifier-seq_opt = default ;

is called an explicitly-defaulted definition...

2. Change 9.5.3 [dcl.fct.def.delete] paragraph 1 as follows:

A function definition of the form:

attribute-specifier-seq_opt decl-specifier-seq_opt declarator virt-specifier-seq_opt = delete ;

is called a deleted definition...
