[Moved to DR at the November, 2014 meeting.]
Proposed resolution (October, 2014):
Change 13.2 [temp.param] paragraph 2 as follows, moving the example from paragraph 3 to paragraph 2:
There is no semantic difference between class and typename in a template-parameter. typename followed by an unqualified-id names a template type parameter. typename followed by a qualified-id denotes the type in a non-type137 parameter-declaration. A template-parameter of the form class identifier is a type-parameter. [Example:
class T { /* ... */ }; int i; template<class T, T i> void f(T t) { T t1 = i; // template-parameters T and i ::T t2 = ::i; // global namespace members T and i }Here, the template f has a type-parameter called T, rather than an unnamed non-type template-parameter of class T. —end example]. A storage class shall not be specified in a template-parameter declaration. Types shall not be defined in a template-parameter declaration.
[Note: A template parameter may be a class template. For example... —end note]
Change 13.2 [temp.param] paragraph 3 as follows, moving the example from paragraph 2 to paragraph 3:
A type-parameter whose identifier does not follow an ellipsis defines its identifier to be a typedef-name (if declared with class or typename) or template-name (if declared with template) in the scope of the template declaration.
[Note: Because of the name lookup rules, a template-parameter that could be interpreted as either a non-type template-parameter or a type-parameter (because its identifier is the name of an already existing class) is taken as a type-parameter. For example... —end note][Note: A template parameter may be a class template. For example,template<class T> class myarray { /* ... */ }; template<class K, class V, template<class T> class C = myarray> class Map { C<K> key; C<V> value; };—end note]
The Standard is not clear enough that a template parameter like class T is to be interpreted as a type parameter and not an ill-formed non-type parameter of class type T.
