[Bug c++/48468] New: [C++0x][SFINAE] noexcept operator does handle function templates well

           Summary: [C++0x][SFINAE] noexcept operator does handle function
                    templates well
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: gintensub...@gmail.com


template<class T>
T&& declval() noexcept;

template< class T >
inline void f1( T& x ) noexcept( noexcept( declval<T&>().foo() ) )
{
  x.foo();
}

template< class T,
  bool Noexcept = noexcept( declval<T&>().foo() )
>
inline void f2( T& x ) noexcept( Noexcept )
{
  x.foo();
}

// a common and trivial mistake
template< class T >
inline void f3( T& x ) noexcept( declval<T&>().foo() )
{
  x.foo();
}


struct X
{
  void foo();
};

struct Y
{
  void foo() noexcept;
};

struct Z {};


int main()
{
  X x; Y y; Z z;

  static_assert( !noexcept( f1(x) ), "OK." );
  static_assert( !noexcept( f2(x) ), "OK." );
  // static_assert( !noexcept( f3(x) ), "shall be ill-formed(OK)." );

  static_assert(  noexcept( f1(y) ), "OK." );
  static_assert(  noexcept( f2(y) ), "OK." );
  // static_assert(  noexcept( f3(y) ), "shall be ill-formed(OK)." );

  static_assert(  noexcept( f1(z) ), "shall be ill-formed." );
  static_assert(  noexcept( f2(z) ), "shall be ill-formed." );
  static_assert( !noexcept( f3(z) ), "shall be ill-formed." );

}

---------------------

GCC-4.6.0 compiles this code successfully, but expressions "noexcept( f1(z) )",
"noexcept( f2(z) )", and "noexcept( f3(z) )" shall be ill-formed, because
unevaluated operand "declval<T&>().foo()" is ill-formed.


This behavior prevents using noexcept for switching implementations by SFINAE:

---------------------

// if x.swap(y) is exist, calls it.
template<class T>
void my_swap_( T& x, T& y, int )
  noexcept( noexcept( std::declval<T&>().swap( std::declval<T&>() ) ) )
{
  x.swap( y );
}

// otherwise, calls [std::]swap
using std::swap;
template<class T>
void my_swap_( T& x, T& y, ... )
  noexcept( noexcept( swap( std::declval<T&>(), std::declval<T&>() ) ) )
{
  swap( x, y );
}


template<class T>
void my_swap( T& x, T& y )
  noexcept( noexcept( my_swap_( std::declval<T&>(), std::declval<T&>(), 0 ) ) )
{
  my_swap_( x, y, 0 );
}

---------------------

Of course, this code can be written with another C++0x feature (e.g. decltype),
I'd prefer to use noexcept when result type is void, because it's simple.
