Bug ID: 64970 Summary: Hard error instead of SFINAE for expression in nested template alias Product: gcc Version: 4.9.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: eric.niebler at gmail dot com The following code gives a hard error. I believe it should not. template<typename T> T && declval(); template<typename T> struct void_ { using type = void; }; template<typename T> using void_t = typename void_<T>::type; template<class A, class B> struct Outer { template<class C, class D> using Inner = decltype(true ? declval<C>() : declval<D>()); }; template<class A, class B, typename Enable = void> struct S {}; template<class A, class B> struct S<A, B, void_t<typename Outer<A, B>::template Inner<A, B>>> {}; struct A{}; struct B{}; int main() { S<A, B> s; } The error: test.cpp: In substitution of ‘template<class A, class B> template<class C, class D> using Inner = decltype ((true ? declval<C>() : declval<D>())) [with C = A; D = B; A = A; B = B]’: test.cpp:32:13: required from here test.cpp:15:33: error: no match for ternary ‘operator?:’ (operand types are ‘bool’, ‘A’, and ‘B’) using Inner = decltype(true ? declval<C>() : declval<D>()); ^
