Description roger 2006-02-02 18:41:12 UTC
The following short code fragment no longer compiles with gcc 4.1.
I've no clue if this a regression or mandated by the standard.

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

int size(char x) { return (int) sizeof(x); }
int size(int x) { return (int) sizeof(x); }

int size(const std::string &x) {
  return (int) x.size() + (int) sizeof(int);
}

template <class T>
int size(const std::vector<T> &x) {
  int result = (int) sizeof(int);
  typename std::vector<T>::const_iterator iter;
  for (iter = x.begin() ; iter != x.end() ; iter++)
    result += size(*iter);
  return result;
}

template <class T, class TT>
int size(const std::pair<T,TT> &x) {
  return size(x.first) + size(x.second);
}

int foo() {
  std::vector<std::pair <std::string, std::string> > pvec;
  return size(pvec);
}


Sorry to not reduce a stand-alone testcase without headers.  The STL isn't
important.  The issue is that the list of candidates for "size(std::pair<...>)"
doesn't include the templates, only the functions, when instantiating
"size(std::vector<...>).

On IRC they thought this looked reasonable enough to file a PR.
This works fine in 4.0.2 and 3.4.x and many other C++ compilers.
