Hmm.. don't we end up odr-using the undefined member function when checking the { ranges::iter_move(__in) } -> same_as<iter_rvalue_reference_t<_In>>; requirement of the concept __indirectly_readable_impl (as part of the concept indirect_unary_predicate)? In order to verify this requirement we need to determine the return type of ranges::iter_move(__in). But the operator() of this CPO has a decltype(auto) return type, so determining its return type requires instantiating its body: struct _IMove { template<typename _Tp> requires __adl_imove<_Tp> || requires(_Tp& __e) { *__e; } constexpr _Blah<_Tp>::type operator()(_Tp&& __e) const noexcept(_S_noexcept<_Tp>()) { if constexpr (__adl_imove<_Tp>) return iter_move(static_cast<_Tp&&>(__e)); else if constexpr (is_reference_v<iter_reference_t<_Tp>>) return std::move(*__e); else return *__e; } }; And this instantiated function body (the second branch of the constexpr if) would then odr-use this undefined member function, IIUC. So could this be another example where defining the operator() of a CPO with a deduced return type leads to excessive instantiation?
