Bug #: 52949 Summary: decltype too sensitive to order of declarations? Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: akim.demai...@gmail.com Created attachment 27141 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=27141 Test case I am not sure of myself on this one. I have read a preversion of the standard (and I checked n2343 too), and I did not find anything very clear about this. I do understand that the "rich" version might require some dependency resolution in full generality, but then again, I have not found the restriction spelled out in the standard. The only restriction I spotted is the case of overloaded functions. I apologize if this is the expected behavior. In the following example, the first use of decltype fails because it does not see the member_ definition, which is right after it. The second decltype passes. $ g++-mp-4.7 --version g++-mp-4.7 (GCC) 4.7.0 Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
