           Summary: make_tuple() on empty tuples does not compile
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.5.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: tinlyx@gmail.com

the example

g++ 4.5.2 cannot create a unary tuple that contains an empty tuple (i.e.
tuple<>() ) as the content. Minimal code example is as follows:

//a.cpp
#include <tuple>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  auto te = make_tuple();
  auto tte = make_tuple(te);
  return 0;
}


////
Compiling the above generates an error about
invalid static_cast from type 'std::tuple<>' to type 'const
std::_Tuple_impl<0u>&'

Detailed compiler output is below:

$ gcc -v -save-temps -std=c++0x a.cpp
