  • Template Argument Deduction Broken in Clang 6 for Temporary Objects

    1 answer




I have the following piece of C++17 code that uses class template deduction:



template <typename T>
struct Test {
T t;
Test(T t) : t(t) {}
bool check() { return true; }
};

template <typename T>
bool check(T t) {
return Test(t).check();
}

int main() {
return check(1);
}


gcc 8.2 compiles this without any problems, while clang 7.0 complains:



test.cpp:10:16: error: member reference base type 'Test' is not a structure or union
return Test(t).check();
~~~~~~~^~~~~~


I do not yet have a complete grasp of the intricacies of the class template argument deduction mechanism. Is this a bug in clang or am I using CTAD in a wrong way?

    I can confirm the error, with clang++ -std=c++17.

    Works on latest GCC and MSVC (with c++17 switch), so I assume this is a clang issue. Don't forget to create a bug report.

This is a clang bug [expr.type.conv]/1:




If the type is a placeholder for a deduced class type, it is replaced by the return type of the function selected by overload resolution for class template deduction for the remainder of this subclause.




So template deduction also applies in functional conversion expression.



You can circumvent this clang bug this way:



template <typename T>
bool check(T t) {
auto x=Test(t);
return x.check();
}
