[Moved to DR at the November, 2014 meeting.]
Proposed resolution (April, 2013):
Change 6.3 [basic.def.odr] paragraph 3 as follows:
...A virtual member function is odr-used if it is not pure. A function whose name appears as a potentially-evaluated expression is odr-used if it is the unique lookup result or the selected member of a set of overloaded functions (6.5 [basic.lookup], 12.2 [over.match], 12.3 [over.over]), unless it is a pure virtual function and either its name is not explicitly qualified or the expression forms a pointer to member (5.3.1). [Note:...
According to 6.3 [basic.def.odr] paragraph 3,
A function whose name appears as a potentially-evaluated expression is odr-used if it is the unique lookup result or the selected member of a set of overloaded functions (6.5 [basic.lookup], 12.2 [over.match], 12.3 [over.over]), unless it is a pure virtual function and its name is not explicitly qualified.
In the following example, consequently, S::f is odr-used but not defined, and (because it is an undefined odr-used inline function) a diagnostic is required:
namespace { struct S { inline virtual void f() = 0; }; void (S::*p) = &S::f; }
However, S::f cannot be called through such a pointer-to-member, so forming a pointer-to-member should not cause a pure virtual function to be odr-used. There is implementation divergence on this point.
