Bug #: 50324 Summary: SFINAE does not handle the object creation of an incomplete type Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ai.az...@gmail.com As far as I understand correctly, the following code should be compiled successfully. However, the latter static_assert results in a hard error without SFINAE. cryolite@blueplanet:~/work/test$ LANG=C "/home/cryolite/local/4.7.0/bin/g++" -v -save-temps -std=c++0x -c "main.cpp" Using built-in specs.
