Bug #: 56913 Summary: [C++11] SFINAE for ill-formed pointer-to-member operators with incompatible ref-qualifiers Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ai.az...@gmail.com Created attachment 29851 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29851 Output of -v option and preprocessed source GCC 4.8.1 20130404 and 4.9.0 20130407 reject the following well-formed code; //----------------------------------------------------------- template<typename T> T &&declval(); template<typename T, typename U, typename = decltype((declval<T>().*declval<U>())())> constexpr bool test(int) { return true; } template<typename T, typename U> constexpr bool test(...) { return false; } struct S {}; static_assert(!test<S, void (S::*)() &>(0), ""); static_assert(test<S, void (S::*)() &&>(0), ""); static_assert(test<S &, void (S::*)() &>(0), ""); static_assert(!test<S &, void (S::*)() &&>(0), ""); //----------------------------------------------------------- For the above code, GCC 4.9.0 20130407 complains as follows; main.cpp:5:43: error: pointer-to-member-function type 'void (S::*)() &' requires an lvalue typename = decltype((declval<T>().*declval<U>())())> ^ main.cpp:20:1: error: static assertion failed: static_assert(!test<S, void (S::*)() &>(0), ""); ^ main.cpp:5:43: error: pointer-to-member-function type 'void (S::*)() &&' requires an rvalue typename = decltype((declval<T>().*declval<U>())())> ^ main.cpp:23:1: error: static assertion failed: static_assert(!test<S &, void (S::*)() &&>(0), ""); ^ SFINAE does not seem to be applied to ill-formed pointer-to-member operators (as per N3485 [expr.mptr.oper]/6) instantiated in the first and fourth static_asserts, and they result in hard errors.
