The desired outcome is clear in this case but the compiler does not recognize the template arguments. Before encountering '=' the parser honors the template argument separator with a higher priority than the function argument separator, afterwards it does not. That does not make sense and certainly either the standard or the compiler should be fixed. > As there is a simple workaround -- adding parentheses -- which is > unambiguously > correct, I do not see a need to speculatively implement a language extension > here. > Provided the standard is ambiguous, fixing this problem would not introduce a language extension. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33754
