Bug ID: 101004 Summary: SFINAE constrained conversion operator of class template parameter type does not work with built-in arithmetic operators Product: gcc Version: 10.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: namark at disroot dot org Target Milestone: --- I believe the following code should be valid, but gcc rejects it (version 10.2.0 on my machine, but also all versions I could try on godbolt.org) #include <type_traits> template <typename T, std::size_t S> class One { public: template <std::size_t SS = S, std::enable_if_t<SS == 1>* = nullptr> operator T() const { return 1; } }; int main() { return 1 - One<int,1>{}; // no match for operator- } The implicit conversion seems to work fine in general with initialization, assignment or user defined operators/functions, but not with the built-in arithmetic or comparison operators. Removing the SFINAE constraint fixes it. Changing the conversion operator type from T to int also fixes it. That is, either of those is fine on its own, but together they cause this strange behavior.
