           Summary: constexpr member function cannot use the class type it
                    belongs as parameter type or return type
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++

constexpr member function cannot use the class type it belongs as parameter
type or return type.
gcc issues errors for the following code.

struct X
{
    constexpr X() { }

    // error : invalid parameter type and return type.
    // same for static and non-static member function
    constexpr X f( X x ) { return x ; }
} ;

I think this is a well-formed code.

Base class name can be used.

Also gcc issues errors for the following code which I think it's caused by the
same problem.

struct X
{
    constexpr X() { }

    // declaration
    constexpr X f( X x ) ;
} ;
// definition
// error : redeclaration differs
constexpr X X::f( X x ) { return x ; }

There is no difference in the redeclaration.
So this error is wrong.
