------- Comment #2 from potswa at mac dot com 2010-05-17 06:06 ------- Sorry, that was completely wrong. I thought I'd isolated a testcase with the above code plus int main() { return rcv_f<decltype(f)>(f); }, but that actually does work.
It seems the problem is completely different. The testcase below suggests that decltype somehow cannot recurse in the presence of a reference to function type. #include <tuple> #include <type_traits> // aside: std::result_of belongs in <type_traits> #include <functional> // not <functional>. template< class T, class F, size_t tuple_index0 = std::tuple_size<T>::value, size_t... tuple_indexes > typename std::result_of< typename std::enable_if< tuple_index0 == 0, F( typename std::tuple_element< tuple_indexes - 1, T >::type... ) >::type >::type apply( T const &t, F f ) { return f( std::get< tuple_indexes - 1 >( t )... ); } template< class T, class F, size_t tuple_index0 = std::tuple_size<T>::value, size_t... tuple_indexes > decltype( apply< typename std::enable_if< tuple_index0 != 0, T >::type, F, tuple_index0 - 1, tuple_index0, tuple_indexes... > ( std::declval<T>(), std::declval<F>() ) ) apply( T const &t, F f ) { return apply< T, F, tuple_index0 - 1, tuple_index0, tuple_indexes... > ( t, f ); } void f() {} void g( int ) {} void h( int, int ) {} struct a { void operator()( int, int ) {} }; int main() { // these cases work: apply( std::make_tuple(), f ); apply( std::make_tuple( 0 ), g ); apply< std::tuple< int, int >, void (&)(int, int), 1, 2 >( std::make_tuple( 0, 0 ), h ); apply( std::make_tuple( 0, 0 ), a() ); // this does not: apply( std::make_tuple( 0, 0 ), h ); } Either the subject of this bug should be changed or I should open a new bug. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44162
