Bug #: 55663 Summary: [C++11] Alias template combined with constexpr function is considered non-const Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: daniel.krueg...@googlemail.com Using gcc 4.8.0 20121209 (experimental) and compile with flags -Wall -std=c++11 -pedantic rejects the following program: //------------------------------- template<bool, class> struct enable_if {}; template<class T> struct enable_if<true, T> { using type = T; }; template<bool C, class T> using req = typename enable_if<C, T>::type; template<class T> constexpr bool always() { return true; } template<class T> typename enable_if<always<T>(), void>::type foo1(T){} template<class T> req<always<T>(), void> foo2(T){} int main() { foo1(0); // OK foo2(0); // Error #23 } //------------------------------- the diagnostics being: "main.cpp||In function 'int main()':| main.cpp|23|error: no matching function for call to 'foo2(int)'| main.cpp|23|note: candidate is:| main.cpp|19|note: template<class T> req<always<T>(), void> foo2(T)| main.cpp|19|note: template argument deduction/substitution failed:| main.cpp|19| required by substitution of 'template<class T> req<always<T>(), void> foo2(T) [with T = int]'| main.cpp|23|required from here| main.cpp|19|error: integral expression 'always<int>()' is not constant| main.cpp|19|error: trying to instantiate 'template<bool C, class T> using req = typename enable_if::type'| " I found some similarity to bug 54648 but I'm not 100% sure whether this is a dub
