Instead of introducing the _ReuseOrComputeHash type, wouldn't it be simpler to just overload _M_hash_code? // Same hash function, use the cached hash code. __hash_code _M_hash_code(const _Hash&, const _Hash_node_value<_Value, true>& __n) const { return __n._M_hash_code; } // Compute hash code using a different hash function, _H2 template<typename _H2> __hash_code _M_hash_code(const _H2&, const _Hash_node_value<_Value, __cache_hash_code>& __n) const { return this->_M_hash_code(_ExtractKey{}(__n._M_v()); } The first overload is more specialized, so will be chosen when the first argument is the same type as _Hash and the cache_has_code boolean is true.
