--- Comment #8 from Fernando Pelliccioni <fpelliccioni at gmail dot com> 2012-05-07 13:24:02 UTC --- Sorry, the comments were wrong. Here the corrected code with proper comments. Tested with GCC 4.7.1 and GCC 4.6.3 // g++ -std=c++0x gcc_error_simple.cpp // g++ -DWITH_USING_DECLARATION -std=c++0x gcc_error_simple.cpp #include <type_traits> template <typename T> struct Base { template <typename T2> typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<T, T2>::value, T>::type get() { return T2(); } }; template <typename T> struct Derived : Base<int> { typedef Base<int> base; #ifdef WITH_USING_DECLARATION using base::get; #endif template <typename T2> typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<T, T2>::value, T>::type get() { return T2(); } }; int main( /* int argc, char* argv[] */ ) { Derived<double> d; auto xxx = d.get<double>(); auto yyy = d.get<int>(); // #ifndef WITH_USING_DECLARATION -> Compile-time error -> GCC is behaving Correctly!!! Base<int>::get<int>() is hidden! // #ifdef WITH_USING_DECLARATION -> No Compile-time error -> GCC is behaving incorrectly. Base<int>::get<int>() must be hidden. return 0; }
