Bug #: 57172 Summary: [C++11][DR 1164] Template overload resolution ambiguous for T&& versus T& Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: daniel.krueg...@googlemail.com The following code is rejected by gcc 4.9.0 20130428 (experimental) using the compiler flags -std=c++11 -Wall -pedantic-errors //----------------------------- template<typename T> int f(T&){} template<typename T> int f(T&&); int i; int j = f(i); //----------------------------- "main.cpp|4|error: call of overloaded 'f(int&)' is ambiguous| main.cpp|4|note: candidates are:| main.cpp|1|note: int f(T&) [with T = int]| main.cpp|2|note: int f(T&&) [with T = int&]|" This example was relevant for http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#1164 and the core language has been adapted to make it well-formed as described by [temp.deduct.partial] p9 b1. The compiler should select the first overload here.
