I would be unaware of that restriction. It's true that you can't use objects with internal linkage (such as static variables) as *template arguments* but I would be surprised if you couldn't use them in the body of a template function. That said, this point is tangential to what I wanted to say with this PR, and your little programs makes my point as eloquently as my original one ;-) W. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41134
