APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling the following test case, the compiler claims the
  two constructors are the same and issues a duplicate definition
  error.
  
  Error Message:
  $ xlC -c test.cpp
  "test.cpp", line 16.9: 1540-0401 (S) The member
  "TypeBase<std::string,TYPE>::TypeBase<std::string,TYPE>(const
  TypeBase &)" is already declared.
  "test.cpp", line 14.18: 1540-0425 (I)
  "TypeBase<std::string,TYPE>" is defined on line 14 of
  "test.cpp".
  
  
    =======  TEST CASE  =======
  
  #include <string>
  
  template <typename BUILTIN, typename TYPE>
      class TypeBase
      {
          explicit TypeBase (const BUILTIN & value) { }
  
          TypeBase (const TypeBase & value) { }
      };
  
  template <typename TYPE>
      class TypeBase<std::string, TYPE>
      {
          explicit TypeBase (const std::string & value) { }
  
          TypeBase (const TypeBase & value) { }
      };
  
  class MyType : public TypeBase<std::string, MyType> { };
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• This problem may appear when a partial specialization has a copy
  constructor and at least one other constructor.
  The compiler claims the 2 constructors are the same and issues a
  duplicate definition error.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem was the result of a logic error in a query looking
  for injected class names in a partial specialization, this has
  been resolved.
  

Temporary fix
