--- Comment #6 from Daniel Krügler <daniel.kruegler at googlemail dot com> 2011-10-23 09:51:44 UTC --- [I assume you refer to p8 and the sentence: "If an argument is a pack expansion (14.5.3), it shall be the last argument in the template argument list."] No. list_templates<F...> is not an argument that *is* a pack expansion (but it contains a pack expansion, which is fine). This sentence describes a situation like the following: template<class> struct P; template<class...> struct X; template<class... Ts, class T> struct X<Ts..., P<T>> {}; This is ill-formed because the expansion Ts... is not at the end of the argument list. Changing it to template<class... Ts, class T> struct X<P<T>, Ts...> {}; would be OK, though.
