Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2024-11-08):

Change in 11.6 [class.local] paragraph 3 as follows:

If class X is a local class, a nested class Y may be declared in class X and later defined in the definition of class X or be later defined in the same scope as the definition of class X. A class nested within a local class is a local class. A member of a local class X shall be declared only in the definition of X or, if the member is a nested class, in the nearest enclosing block scope of X.

The implementation status quo is that no members of local classes other than nested classes can be defined at block scope.

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

Subclause 11.6 [class.local] paragraph 3 establishes restrictions on the definition of classes nested within local classes, but it is unclear which restrictions exist for other members of local classes.

Possible resolution [SUPERSEDED]:

Change in 11.6 [class.local] paragraph 3 as follows:

If class X is a local class, a nested class Y may be declared in class X and later defined in the definition of class X or be later defined in the same scope as the definition of class X. A class nested within a local class is a local class. A member of a local class X shall be declared only in the definition of X or the nearest enclosing block scope of X.
