------- Comment #4 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-01-19 13:15 ------- So, for
template <typename T> int qCompare(const T *t1, const T *t2) { return 1; } template <typename T> int qCompare(T *t1, T *t2) { return 2; } template <typename T1, typename T2> int qCompare(const T1 *t1, const T2 *t2) { return 3; } template<> int qCompare(const char *t1, const char *t2) { return 4; } int main() { return qCompare("a", "b"); } gcc returns 1, if you swap the first two decls it returns 4, likewise if you remove the function that returns 3 regardless of ordering of the first two lines. So, the bug is it should unconditionally return 4 or diagnose the ambiguous specialization. -- rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2006-01-19 13:15:22 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25855
