    • Affects Version/s: 9
    • Component/s: hotspot
    • Environment:

      Arch Linux
      clang version 3.4 (tags/RELEASE_34/final)

      When build hotspot with clang on Linux, following error is reported. The code in question violate C++ 11 spec, and clang is enforcing that rule.

      C++11: §8.3.6.4 [dcl.fct.default]
      "If a friend declaration specifies a default argument expression,
      that declaration shall be a definition and shall be the only declaration
      of the function or function template in the translation unit."
