Describing the handling of static data members with brace-or-equal-initializers, 11.4.9.3 [class.static.data] paragraph 3 says,
The member shall still be defined in a namespace scope if it is odr-used (6.3 [basic.def.odr]) in the program and the namespace scope definition shall not contain an initializer.
The word “shall” implies a required diagnostic, but this is describing an ODR violation (the static data member might be defined in a different translation unit) and thus should be “no diagnostic required.”
