Default arguments are evaluated at the call site... so I don't think this is necessarily wrong.

I think the compiler should give errors for wrong code, even if the function is not yet called.

Hmm, this doesn't work either.

class Foo
{
    int a = 0;

    void bar(int x = a)
    {
    }
    void baz()
    {
        bar();
    }
}

void main()
{
    Foo f = new Foo();
    //f.bar();   -> does not complain with this commented out
}

They probably should be banned.
