            Bug ID: 103569
           Summary: Type alias from result of lambda call in unevaluated
                    context, used in template, is inconsistent
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.1.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: tim.pavlic at minelab dot com.au
  Target Milestone: ---

Code:
-------------------------

#include <type_traits>

template <typename T>
using probably_unsigned = decltype([] {
    return std::make_unsigned_t<T>{};
}());

template <typename T>
auto definitely_unsigned_helper() {
    return std::make_unsigned_t<T>{};
}

template <typename T>
using definitely_unsigned = decltype(definitely_unsigned_helper<T>());


static_assert(std::is_same_v<probably_unsigned<char>, unsigned char>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<probably_unsigned<short>, unsigned short>);

static_assert(std::is_same_v<definitely_unsigned<char>, unsigned char>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<definitely_unsigned<short>, unsigned short>);

void no_template_no_problem()
{
    probably_unsigned<char> p;
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(p), unsigned char>);
}

template <typename T>
void definitely_no_problem()
{
    definitely_unsigned<T> d;
    static_assert(std::is_unsigned_v<decltype(d)>);
}

template <typename T>
void problem()
{
    probably_unsigned<T> p;
    static_assert(std::is_unsigned_v<decltype(p)>);

    // Always resolved as int!!!
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<int, decltype(p)>); // !!!!!!
}

int main()
{
    problem<char>();
    problem<short>();
    problem<long>();

    definitely_no_problem<char>();
    definitely_no_problem<short>();
    definitely_no_problem<long>();
}

Observed behaviour:
-------------------
The type alias based on the result of calling decltype() on the lambda
invocation works correctly outside of a function template, but not inside.

The static asserts at namespace level pass.
But the static assert inside the problem() function, where it asserts the type
is int, also passes!
So the alias yields two results, depending on where it is.


Expected behaviour:
-------------------
I would expect the alias to give the same type, every time.
