        <pre>The declaration of A::f has a const. The definition doesn't.

template <typename T>
struct A
{
    void f(const int);
};

template <typename T>
void A<T>::f(int x)
{
    x = 0;
}

void f()
{
    A<float> a;
    a.f(0);
}


Clang produces an error:

test.cpp:10:7: error: read-only variable is not assignable
    x = 0;
    ~ ^
test.cpp:26:7: note: in instantiation of member function 'A<float>::f'
requested here
    a.f(0);
      ^

This doesn't seem to be a correct behavior. It only happens for template
classes. In exact the same situation with a regular class everything compiles
well.

struct B
{
    void f(const int);
};

void B::f(int x)
{
    x = 0;
}

void f()
{
    B b;
    b.f(0);
}

GCC compiles both examples without an error.</pre>
