what happens is that line 13 is mishandled:

sfinae37_red.C:13:48: error: size of array ‘testg’ is negative

However, *if I comment out line 11*, things work for line 13! If I swap
line 11 and line 13 then the declaration of testg is accepted and the
static_assert triggers.

Curious. I guess that the second time we see the call the compiler thinks it already has the candidate it needs, but I don't know why that would be. Are we not getting to type_unification_real from add_template_candidate the second time?
So, I'm in the middle of this (got distracted earlier today). I can tell you what I have.

For the second evaluation, the second time we call instantiate_template_1, thus for the interesting g(int) overload, here:

  spec = retrieve_specialization (gen_tmpl, targ_ptr, 0);

  gcc_assert (tmpl == gen_tmpl
          || ((fndecl = retrieve_specialization (tmpl, orig_args, 0))
          == spec)
          || fndecl == NULL_TREE);

  if (spec != NULL_TREE)
    {
      if (FNDECL_RECHECK_ACCESS_P (spec) && (complain & tf_error))
    recheck_decl_substitution (spec, gen_tmpl, targ_ptr);
      return spec;
    }

things are completely different, because spec != NULL_TREE and, more importantly, complain is tf_none, thus recheck_decl_substitution is not called, we just return immediately.

Compare to the first evaluation: in that case we call enforce_access *way* below, with the perform_deferred_access_checks call near the end of instantiate_template_1.

Thus, looks like the recheck_decl_substitution mechanism is not working by design because of complain == tf_none?!?

Note that while I'm debugging this, I see instantiate_template_1 always getting complain == tf_none, something seems weird about the && (complain & tf_error) above...

Paolo.
