            Bug ID: 57570
           Summary: Deduction succeeds despite type mismatch of non-type
                    template parameter and deduced argument
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: hstong at ca dot ibm.com

GCC does not consistently fail deduction for type mismatch of a non-type
template parameter and the corresponding deduced argument.

See N3690 subclause 14.8.2.5 [temp.deduct.type] paragraph 17.

### STANDALONE SOURCE:
template <short, char> struct A;

int foo(void *);
template <short x> int foo(A<x, x> *ap)
   // neither clang++ nor g++ bother to look at the second instance of x
   // for deduction
{ return noGood(ap); }

int bar(void *);
template <char y> int bar(A<y, y> *ap)
   // okay; clang++ and g++ both realize that deducing from the first instance
   // of y is no good
{ return noGood(ap); }

int zip(void *, void *);
template <short x, char y> int zip(A<x, y> *ap, A<y, x> *)
   // clang++ does not bother to look at the second function argument
   // for deduction, g++ does
{ return noGood(ap); }

A<0, 0> *ap = 0;

int a = foo(ap);  // clang++ and g++ both fail to fail the argument deduction
int b = bar(ap);  // clang++ and g++ both successfully fail the deduction
int c = zip(ap, ap);  //
   // clang++ fails to fail and g++ successfully fails the argument deduction

// For all three:
// - MSVC 17.00.51025 fails to fail the argument deduction
// - ICC 13.0.1 20121010 and IBM XL C/C++ for AIX 12.1.0.3 work fine


### COMPILER INVOCATION:
g++ -std=c++11 -c main.cpp


### EXPECTED OUTPUT:
Successful compile.


### ACTUAL OUTPUT:
main.cpp: In instantiation of 'int foo(A<x, x>*) [with short int x = 0]':
main.cpp:23:15:   required from here
main.cpp:7:12: error: 'noGood' was not declared in this scope


### g++ -v OUTPUT:
Using built-in specs.
