Summary: [C++0x][SFINAE] Failures with n-ary initialization expressions (in return type) Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: daniel.krueg...@googlemail.com CC: ja...@redhat.com Some n-ary initialization expressions in a SFINAE context used in a return type definition either give hard errors: a) any T => abstract class b) cv void => T (T is a class type) or give the wrong result: c) when void is initialized with more than one argument #include <utility> // for declval template<class T, class... Args> decltype(T(std::declval<Args>()...), char()) f(int); template<class, class...> char (&f(...))[2]; struct A { virtual ~A() = 0; }; struct B {}; static_assert(sizeof(f<A, int, int>(0)) != 1, "Error"); // a static_assert(sizeof(f<B, void, int>(0)) != 1, "Error"); // b static_assert(sizeof(f<void, int, int>(0)) != 1, "Error"); // c a) "error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type 'A' because the following virtual functions are pure within 'A': virtual A::~A()" b) "error: invalid use of void expression" c) Assertion triggers!
