--- Comment #7 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-03-14 18:01:51 UTC --- Doh, yes I got carried away reducing it and made it no longer a template function, so of course SFINAE doesn't apply - sorry! Should it apply in the case below? template<typename T> T declval(); struct tuple { }; struct F1 { void operator()(tuple); }; typedef void (*F2)(tuple); template<typename F, typename T> struct Bind { template<typename A, typename R = decltype( F()(declval<T&>()) )> R f(A); template<typename A, typename R = decltype( F()(declval<volatile T&>()) )> R f(A) volatile; }; int main() { Bind<F1, tuple>().f(0); // OK Bind<F2, tuple>().f(0); // ERROR } Currently Bind::f() volatile gives an error during overload resolution but the other overload doesn't. Will your fix make both fail?
