[Bug c++/38543] New: Cannot specialize variadic template function

[jichaoz at ca dot ibm dot com]

GCC 4.3.2 failed to compile code with vairadic template function
specialization.

Here is the code causing the problem:

template< typename ... T > void foo( T ... args );
template<> void foo( int, double ){}
int main()
{
  foo( 0, 0.0 );
  return 55;
}

I got the following error msg:
test.cpp:3: error: template-id 'foo<>' for 'void foo(int, double)' does not
match any template declaration

However, the specialization using only one parameter can pass:

template< typename ... T > void foo( T ... args );
template<> void foo( int ){}
int main()
{
  foo( 0 );
  return 55;
}

Command used to compile:

g++ -std=c++0x    test.cpp   -o test

Output from -v:
