2915. Explicit object parameters of type void

[Accepted as a DR at the November, 2024 meeting.]

(From submission #578.)

Consider:

  struct A {
    void f(this void);
  };

This ought to be an ill-formed parameter of type void.

Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2024-08-16):

Change in 9.3.4.6 [dcl.fct] paragraph 3 as follows:

If the parameter-declaration-clause is empty, the function takes no arguments. A parameter list consisting of a single unnamed non-object parameter of non-dependent type void is equivalent to an empty parameter list. Except for this special case, a parameter shall not have type cv void.
