Another "who's right between g++ and clang++?"
This time I'm convinced it's a g++ bug, but I ask for a confirm from standard gurus.
Given the following code
template <template <auto...> class Cnt,
typename ... Types,
Types ... Vals>
void foo (Cnt<Vals...>)
{ }
template <auto ...>
struct bar
{ };
int main ()
{
foo(bar<0, 1>{}); // compile both
foo(bar<0, 1L>{}); // only clang++ compile; error from g++
}
clang++ (8.0.0, by example) compile and link without problem where g++ (9.2.0, by example) gives the following error compiling the second foo()
(but not the first) call
prog.cc: In function 'int main()':
prog.cc:16:20: error: no matching function for call to 'foo(bar<0, 1>)'
16 | foo(bar<0, 1L>{}); // only clang++ compile; error from g++
| ^
prog.cc:6:6: note: candidate: 'template<template<auto ...<anonymous> > class Cnt, class ... Types, Types ...Vals> void foo(Cnt<Vals ...>)'
6 | void foo (Cnt<Vals...>)
| ^~~
prog.cc:6:6: note: template argument deduction/substitution failed:
prog.cc:16:20: note: mismatched types 'int' and 'long int'
16 | foo(bar<0, 1L>{}); // only clang++ compile; error from g++
| ^
prog.cc:16:20: note: 'bar<0, 1>' is not derived from 'Cnt<Vals ...>'
If I understand correctly, g++ require that the Types...
of the Vals...
coincide where clang++ accept that the Vals...
are of different Types...
.
Who's right?
-- EDIT --
As pointed by Marek R (thanks) also MSVC (v19.22) fail to compile.
But, if I understand correctly, fail also compiling the first foo()
call with the following error
<source>(13): error C2672: 'foo': no matching overloaded function found
<source>(13): error C2893: Failed to specialize function template 'void foo(Cnt<Vals...>)'
<source>(13): note: With the following template arguments:
<source>(13): note: 'Cnt=bar'
<source>(13): note: 'Types={}'
<source>(13): note: 'Vals={0, 1}'
-- EDIT 2 --
camp0 observes (thanks) that g++ compile this code until version 7.4.
A bug introduced from 8.1 or is bugged my code and g++ has corrected his code from 8.1?
None of the three compilers is correct.
From [temp.param]/17:
If a template-parameter is a type-parameter with an ellipsis prior to its optional identifier or is a parameter-declaration that declares a pack ([dcl.fct]), then the template-parameter is a template parameter pack. A template parameter pack that is a parameter-declaration whose type contains one or more unexpanded packs is a pack expansion. ... A template parameter pack that is a pack expansion shall not expand a template parameter pack declared in the same template-parameter-list. [ Example:
...
template <class... T, T... Values> // error: Values expands template type parameter struct static_array; // pack T within the same template parameter list
— end example ]
So the code is ill-formed, even without the line foo(bar<0, 1L>{});
.
There is already a Clang bug report and a GCC bug report.
