The incorrect | return type in this test case works around bug #25304. I've come to take issue with the specification of Size. It says it is convertible to an integral type, does it does not say which. I believe the wording should be more precise -- yes, a library could conservatively take long (long) or unsigned long (long), but still that is a waste. Would you mind appending that issue to the one you raised in c++std-lib-16112? -- gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25306
