9.2.3 Function specifiers [dcl.fct.spec]
Afunction-specifier can be used only in a function declaration.
At most one explicit-specifier and at most one virtual keyword shall appear in a decl-specifier-seq.
function-specifier:
virtual
explicit-specifier
explicit-specifier:
explicit ( constant-expression )
explicit
The virtual specifier shall be used only in the initial declaration of a non-static member function; see [class.virtual].
An explicit-specifier shall be used only in the declaration of a constructor or conversion function within its class definition; see [class.conv.ctor] and [class.conv.fct].
In an explicit-specifier, the constant-expression, if supplied, shall be a contextually converted constant expression of type bool ([expr.const]).
The explicit-specifier explicit without a constant-expression is equivalent to the explicit-specifier explicit(true).
If the constant expression evaluates to true, the function is explicit.
Otherwise, the function is not explicit.
A ( token that follows explicit is parsed as part of the explicit-specifier.
