Bug ID: 104094 Summary: Alias template shown in diagnostic with wrong template parameter name Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- template<typename> struct trait; template<typename A> struct trait { using type = A; }; template<typename B> struct cond { static constexpr bool value = true; }; template<bool> struct enable_if { using type = bool; }; template<> struct enable_if<false> { }; template<typename C> class pair { template<typename D> using constraint = cond<trait<D>>; template<typename E, typename enable_if<constraint<E>::value>::type = true> pair(E&&) { } }; pair<int> p(1); GCC prints: name.C:18:14: error: 'pair<C>::pair(E&&) [with E = int; typename enable_if<cond<trait<D> >::value>::type <anonymous> = true; C = int]' is private within this context 18 | pair<int> p(1); | ^ name.C:15:5: note: declared private here 15 | pair(E&&) { } | ^~~~ Why does it show cond<trait<D>> in the error? There is no D in that constructor's parameter list, and D is not explained in the [with ...] template arg list. I think it should be shown as constraint<E> or as cond<trait<E>>, but showing D is just confusing.
