Bug ID: 60361 Summary: unexpected 'use of parameter outside function body' error Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: rogero at howzatt dot demon.co.uk When declaring a variable with a bracketed constructor call, and using the same external name for the first argument and a template instantiation used as the second argument, the delaration can fail to compile. ----- registration.cpp ----- struct Helper { Helper(int a, void (*pfunc)()); }; template <int I> void function(); const int A = 1; const int B = 2; Helper testOk(A, function<A>); Helper testOk2(int(A), function<B>); Helper testOk3((int(A)), function<A>); // Why does (only) this one fail? Helper testFail(int(A), function<A>); ----- ends ----- registration.cpp:18:34: error: use of parameter 'A' outside function body Helper testFail(int(A), function<A>); ^ registration.cpp:18:34: error: use of parameter 'A' outside function body registration.cpp:18:34: error: use of parameter 'A' outside function body registration.cpp:18:36: error: no matching function for call to 'Helper::Helper(int, <unresolved overloaded function type>)' Helper testFail(int(A), function<A>); ^ registration.cpp:18:36: note: candidates are: registration.cpp:3:3: note: Helper::Helper(int, void (*)()) Helper(int a, void (*pfunc)()); ^ registration.cpp:3:3: note: no known conversion for argument 2 from '<unresolved overloaded function type>' to 'void (*)()' registration.cpp:1:8: note: Helper::Helper(const Helper&) struct Helper ^ registration.cpp:1:8: note: candidate expects 1 argument, 2 provided ---- Fails with g++ 4.9.0 and 4.8.1 Works with g++ 4.2.3, Clang 3.2, ICC 13.0 and MSVC 8 thru 12.
