Bug ID: 58707
Summary: [C++11] A greater-than operator in square brackets
should not end a template argument list
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: tuomas.tynkkynen at iki dot fi

The failing code snippet
The following code snippet does not compile on latest GCC trunk:
template<int i> class TC { };
constexpr int foo[] = { 42, };
TC<foo[0 > 1]> bar;
Actual result:
tmtynkky@e42-7:/tmp$ /dos/gcc-trunk/bin/gcc -xc++ -std=c++11 -pedantic -c -o
/dev/null bracket.cpp
bracket.cpp:3:10: error: template argument 1 is invalid
TC<foo[0 > 1]> bar;
^
bracket.cpp:3:12: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
TC<foo[0 > 1]> bar;
^
The '>' seems to get parsed as the ending delimiter of the template argument
list, even though it shouldn't since it is nested inside a pair of square
brackets. Clang++ 3.3 correctly accepts this snippet.
