             Bug #: 54875
           Summary: Forward declare enums cannot be used as a template
                    argument
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: public@alisdairm.net


The following simple code snippet shows the problem:

template<typename T>
using AddConst = T const;

enum FwdEnum : int;

int main() {
   AddConst<FwdEnum> *ptr = nullptr;
}


Trying to instantiate the alias template, in this case to declare a pointer but
the problem is more general, produces an internal compiler error.  The problem
is probably older than the gcc 4.8 I am testing with, but it does give a nice
assertion from the compiler:


main.cpp: In function 'int main()':
main.cpp:7:20: internal compiler error: tree check: expected enumeral_type,
have template_type_parm in tsubst_enum, at cp/pt.c:18923
    AddConst<FwdEnum> *ptr = nullptr;
                    ^

main.cpp:7:20: internal compiler error: Abort trap: 6
g++-mp-4.8: internal compiler error: Abort trap: 6 (program cc1plus)
Abort trap: 6


Version info of the compiler I am testing with:
gcc -v -save-temps -std=c++11
