[cfe-dev] _Atomic qualified types and template argument deduction

[Rachel Craik via cfe-dev]

Hi Hubert,

Yes, I'll take a look.

Thanks,

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

I believe you might be interested in picking this one up?

   In C11, the lvalue conversions replace atomic types with the
   unqualified, non-atomic version. This is similar to the array-to-pointer
   and function-to-pointer conversions in C++.

   I believe that this parallel should be reflected in template argument
   deduction (specifically, in the place in [temp.deduct.call] where
   array-to-pointer and function-to-pointer conversion is mentioned).

   That is, I believe the following should compile successfully (Clang
   doesn't do so at this time):
   extern _Atomic const int x;
   template <typename T> struct C { typedef T type; };
   template <typename T> C<T> foo(T);
   extern decltype(foo(x))::type chk;
   extern int chk;

   Comments welcome.

  I agree. The intent of [temp.deduct.call]p2 and p3 seems to be that if P
  is not a reference, then A is replaced by the type obtained by converting
  A to a prvalue (and dropping qualifiers). Whether we view _Atomic as a
  funny kind of qualifier or as a funny kind of modifier that decays to its
  underlying type, we should deduce T = int in your above example.
