Bug #: 56943 Summary: Incorrect two-phase name lookup for operators Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: zeratul...@hotmail.com When the following code is run: #include <iostream> namespace N { struct A { int operator+(const void*) { return 42; } }; } namespace M { struct B { }; } template <typename T, typename U> int add(T t, U u) { return t + u; } int operator+(N::A, M::B*) { return 5; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { N::A a; M::B b; std::cout << add(a, &b) << "\n"; } the output is "5". I believe the correct output wouldbe "42", because when looking up operator+ in the expression "t + u", the operator+(N::A, M::B*) overload is found neither by unqualified lookup at the point of definition (since it is not declared yet at the point of definition), nor by argument-dependent lookup at the point of instantiation (since it is not in the namespace of either of its arguments). Clang outputs "42" for this example, as expected.
