Bug 12967 – Prefix method 'this' qualifiers should be disallowed in DeclDefs scope

Currently following three function declarations are compiled successfully. const void prefix_f() {} const { void block_f() {} } const: void label_f() {} But postfix stype method qualifier is disallowed. void postfix_f() const {} // Error: function test.postfix_f without 'this' cannot be const This is introduced by fixing issue 10150. There's pragmatic reason to accept block and label style. const { // or label style int var = 123; // qualified with const ... many variable declarations -> qualified with const void foo() {} // just ignoring 'const' is useful than making error ... more variable declarations -> qualified with const } So I think that above behavior should be kept as-is. But prefix style attributes always modify only one declaration. So it would be more consistent behavior that raising same error in both prefix and postfix cases. const void prefix_f() {} void postfix_f() const {} // Error: function test.prefix_f without 'this' cannot be const // Error: function test.postfix_f without 'this' cannot be const
