X0nt<42> f();</pre><br>Causes clang to fail an assertion (SemaTemplate.cpp:4868 - "Converted template argument list is too short!"). This fix causes CheckTemplateArgumentList to fail if there are parameter packs anywhere other than the last argument in a non-partial application of the template arguments (partial applications include function templates for which non-final parameter packs may be valid. This change does not regress that behavior as far as I know/as far as the test cases already cover it).<br>
<br>I've included a test for this fix.<br><br>As an added bonus, I've also fixed a minor quirk in the output of the diagnostic that appears here ("template parameter pack must be the last template parameter") - currently/without my patch, Clang produces this diagnostic for every parameter after a parameter pack. So in the case of "template<typename ...A, typename B, typename C> struct foo;" the error is emitted twice (though, strangely, the second type it is produced it does not provide the context/line location, though the line/col numbers are the same & still correct). I've fixed that issue & modified a test case to catch it too.<br>
<br>Let me know if this looks good & I'll check it in,<br><br>- David<br><br>[for the record - gcc does something rather different with this invalid construct. It produces special "invalid type" template arguments for non-final parameter packs & then any instantiation of the template fails to match any argument to that parameter & you get an extra diagnostic there, too. I'm not entirely sure how Clang's error recovery works on the failure path (returning Invalid from CheckTemplateArgumentList) works in this case or how it compares to GCC's behavior. <br>
<br>I was considering having the original template parsing code actually modify the template parameter list when it hit this invalid case - moving the parameter pack to the end (or removing it in the case of multiple parameter packs) for example - but I wasn't sure how to mutate the template parameter list & whether that would be valid. Not to mention it could produce some rather strange diagnostics later on. Though it would be more indicative of a legitimate 'error recovery' scenario (the compiler assuming some valid interpretation of the invalid code & then continuing on its way - rather than just glossing over the details of this invalid template whenever it's used) & could be supported by appropriate FixItHints... (might be nice to add the FixIt anyway at some point (to move the parameter pack to the end))]<br>
