Summary: [C++0x][SFINAE] Failures with n-ary initialization expressions (with template default argument) Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: daniel.krueg...@googlemail.com CC: ja...@redhat.com Some n-ary initialization expressions in a SFINAE context used in function template default arguments either give a hard error: a) any T => abstract class or give the wrong result: b) when the destination is a class type constructed from valid arguments #include <utility> // for declval template<class T, class... Args, class = decltype(T(std::declval<Args>()...)) > char f(int); template<class, class...> char (&f(...))[2]; struct A { virtual ~A() = 0; }; struct From2Ints { From2Ints(int, int); }; static_assert(sizeof(f<A, int, int>(0)) != 1, "Error"); // a static_assert(sizeof(f<From2Ints, int, int>(0)) == 1, "Error"); // b a) "error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type 'A' because the following virtual functions are pure within 'A': virtual A::~A()" b) Assertion triggers!
