[Voted into the WP at the November, 2010 meeting.]
N3092 comment GB 44It is not clear from the current wording of 13.8 [temp.res]whether the following is well-formed or not:
template<typename T> struct id { typedef T type; }; template<typename T> void f() { int id<T>::type::*p = 0; } struct A { }; int main() { f<A>(); }Iftypename is required before the use ofid<T>::type, it is not permitted by the currentsyntax.
Proposed resolution (August, 2010):
Change 13.8 [temp.res] paragraph 5 as follows:
A qualified name used as the name in amem-initializer-id, abase-specifier, or anelaborated-type-specifier is implicitly assumed toname a type, without the use of thetypenamekeyword.In anested-name-specifier thatimmediately contains anested-name-specifier thatdepends on a template parameter, theidentifier orsimple-template-id is implicitly assumed to name atype, without the use of thetypenamekeyword. [Note: thetypename keywordis not permitted by the syntax of theseconstructs. —end note]
