[Voted into the WP at the March, 2009 meeting.]
9.2.4 [dcl.typedef] paragraph 1 says,
The typedef specifier shall not be used in a function-definition (9.5 [dcl.fct.def])...
Does this mean that the following is ill-formed?
void f() { typedef int INT; }
Proposed resolution (March, 2008):
Change 9.2.4 [dcl.typedef] paragraph 1 as follows:
...The typedef specifiershall not be used in a function-definition (9.5 [dcl.fct.def]), and itshall not be combined in a decl-specifier-seq with any other kind of specifier except a type-specifier, and it shall not be used in the declaration of a function parameter nor in the decl-specifier-seq of a function-definition (9.5 [dcl.fct.def])...
Proposed resolution (September, 2008):
Change 9.2.4 [dcl.typedef] paragraph 1 as follows:
...The typedef specifiershall not be used in a function-definition (9.5 [dcl.fct.def]), and itshall not be combined in a decl-specifier-seq with any other kind of specifier except a type-specifier, and it shall be used neither in the decl-specifier-seq of a parameter-declaration (9.3.4.6 [dcl.fct]) nor in the decl-specifier-seq of a function-definition (9.5 [dcl.fct.def]).
