[Bug c++/17268] New: GCC and template parameter deduction from function call

[v dot haisman at sh dot cvut dot cz]

GCC accepts following test case but I think it should not. I am not sure about
this but I think that the deduction of foo()'s type should fail as the function
template specifies that _Cont has only one template paramter and the supplied S
template has two and iirc default template paramters don't come to play when it
comes to deduction. Comeau also rejects it, though not with any helpful message
that could support my opinion.

template <typename T>
struct A
{ };

template <typename T, template <typename> class Alloc = A>
struct S
{ };

template <typename T, template <typename> class _Cont>
void foo (_Cont<T>)
{ }

int main ()
{
  foo (S<char> ());
}
