             Bug #: 53506
           Summary: Variadic templates in combination with function
                    pointer problem
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: o.mangold@googlemail.com


The example code below appears to be correct to me, but does not compiler with
g++. I tried it also with Intel compiler 12.1, and icc compiles it just fine.

Neither the first, nor the second version of the call of a() seems to work. It
can't deduce the template args from the function pointer and also does not
accept explicit specification. I had expected at least the second version of
the call to work. Is gcc wrong here or icc?
