Compiling this file, with mainline, gcc 4.0, or 4.1 template<typename t> void f(t a) { } void g() { enum e { v }; f(v); }
gives this error message: foo.cc: In function void g(): foo.cc:2: error: no matching function for call to f(g()::e) If the enum definition is moved out of the function, this works. With gcc 3.2, this works. I didn't try 3.4. My C++ fu is weak, and I do not know for sure that this is valid C++, although I don't see anything wrong with it. But either 1) it is valid and gcc should accept it, or 2) gcc should provide a list of candidates which did not match, since there is manifestly a function named 'f'. -- Summary: template function not recognized when invoked with enum defined in function Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ian at airs dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27560
