Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2022-11-10):
Change 9.11 [dcl.link] paragraph 5 as follows:
A C language linkage is ignored in determining the language linkage of class members, friend functions with a trailing requires-clause, and the function type of non-static class member functions.
Notes from the August, 2021 teleconference:
There was some question as to whether a linkage specification should affect the language linkage of any function declarators within class scope. The question was also raised as to whether some non-typedef syntax should be available for affecting language linkage, which would be a question for EWG.
Suggested resolution:
Change 9.11 [dcl.link] paragraph 5 as follows:
A C language linkage is ignored in determining the language linkage of class members, friend functions with a trailing requires-clause, and the function type of non-static class member functions.
[Accepted as a DR at the February, 2023 meeting.]
According to 9.11 [dcl.link] paragraph 5,
A C language linkage is ignored in determining the language linkage of class members, friend functions with a trailing requires-clause, and the function type of class member functions.
It doesn't make sense that static member functions should behave like non-static member functions in this regard:
extern "C" {
struct A {
static void f();
constexpr static void (*p)()=f; // error: must point to a function whose type has C language linkage
};
}
