Subject: [Bug c++/101435] New: Bad error with missing typename keyword
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 10:57:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-101435-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

            Bug ID: 101435
           Summary: Bad error with missing typename keyword
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.1.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: tobi at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Consider (https://godbolt.org/z/hxnv779Tr):
===================================

template<typename U, int dim>
class X {
    public:
    U v;

    using Scalar = U;
    static constexpr auto Dim = dim;

    explicit X(U x) : v(x) {}

    template<typename T>
    X<T, dim> cast()
    {
        return X<T, dim>(T{v});
    }
};

void f(int err) {
    auto propertyHelper = [err]<typename  M>(M&& fallback) -> M {
        using FloatM = X<float, M::Dim>;
        FloatM v{0};
        return err == 0 ? M{ v.cast<typename M::Scalar>() } : fallback;
    };
}
================================
This gives the fairly confusing error messages:

The actual cause of the error is the missing typename keyword before M (clang
points this out correctly, MSVC of course accepts the code without error
message).  This is similar to #63392 but in that case we at least get a hint as
to what the actual problem is.
