Thanks for the clarification. So a solution could be a template make_dependent
template<class X, class Y>
struct make_dependent
{
typedef X type;
};
template<class T>
void fn(A* a, T& x)
{
dynamic_cast<typename make_dependent<B*, T>::type>(a);
}
The standard doesn't supply any similar, does it?

All three compilers are correct here, as far as the standard is
concerned. The code is ill-formed, but implementations are not
required to diagnose this kind of error. There is no type T that could
produce a well-formed instantiation of fn.
