The following code
#include <iostream>
template <class... Ts>
struct A
{
template <Ts ...Args>
static void f() {
(std::cout << ... << Args) << std::endl;
}
};
int main() {
A<int, int, int, int>::f<0, 1, 2, 3>();
}
with -std=c++17
, compiles with clang 12.0.1 and prints 0123
, but fails to compile with g++ 11.1 with the following error:
test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test.cpp:13:41: error: no matching function for call to ‘A<int, int, int, int>::f<0, 1, 2, 3>()’

Which is the correct behavior?
This is clearly a GCC bug. There are several bug reports, for example, 77731, 88580 and 91247. It will be fixed in GCC 12.
