It wasn't working in this case because we are getting into the "if" below in coerce_template_parms: if ((nargs > nparms && !variadic_p) || (nargs < nparms - variadic_p && require_all_args && (!use_default_args || (TREE_VEC_ELT (parms, nargs) != error_mark_node && !TREE_PURPOSE (TREE_VEC_ELT (parms, nargs)))))) { We are getting there because the number of arguments of t2 in that case is smaller than its number of parms. I am still tweaking other parts of the patch to make it pass bootstrap and testing.
