Whoops, forgot to git-add class-deduction93a.C:

Subject: [PATCH] c++: CTAD within alias template [PR91911]

In the first testcase below, during parsing of the alias template
ConstSpanType, transparency of alias template specializations means we
replace SpanType<T> with SpanType's substituted definition.  But this
substitution lowers the level of the CTAD placeholder for span{T()} from
2 to 1, and so the later instantiation of ConstSpanType<int> erroneously
substitutes this CTAD placeholder with the template argument at level 1
index 0, i.e. with int, before we get a chance to perform the CTAD.

In light of this, it seems we should avoid level lowering when
substituting through the type-id of a dependent alias template
specialization.  To that end this patch makes lookup_template_class_1
pass tf_partial to tsubst in this situation.

Unfortunately, using tf_partial alone isn't sufficient because the
template context in which we perform the dependent substitution may
have more levels than the substituted alias template and so we
end up substituting the CTAD placeholder anyway, as in
class-deduction92b.C below.  (There, it seems we'd need to _increase_
the level of the placeholder for span{T()} from 2 to 3 during the
dependent substitution.)  Since we never want to resolve a CTAD
placeholder outside of CTAD proper, this patch takes the relatively
ad-hoc approach of making tsubst explicitly avoid doing so.

This tsubst workaround doesn't obviate the tf_partial workaround because
it's still desirable to avoid prematurely level lowering a CTAD placeholder:
it's less work for the compiler, and it gives us a chance to substitute
a template placeholder that's a template template parameter with a
concrete template template argument, as in the last testcase below.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, does this look OK for
trunk?

	PR c++/91911

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* pt.c (lookup_template_class_1): When looking up a dependent
	alias template specialization, pass tf_partial to tsubst.
	(tsubst) <case TEMPLATE_TYPE_PARM>: Avoid substituting a CTAD
	placeholder.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* g++.dg/cpp1z/class-deduction92.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/cpp1z/class-deduction92a.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/cpp1z/class-deduction92b.C: New test.
