        <pre>The following code fails to compile, but should:

  inline constexpr struct S {} C {};

  template <class S>
  struct traits;

  template <auto& A>
  struct odd {};

  template <auto& A>
  struct traits<odd<A>> {};

  int main() {
    traits<odd<C>> t; // ERROR HERE
  }


The commented line in main generated the following error:

  error: implicit instantiation of undefined template 'traits<odd<C>>'
      traits<odd<C>> t;
                     ^

The partial specialization with the auto template parameter fails to match the
instantiation.

GCC accepts the code. A slight tweak causes clang to accept the code (replacing
`auto&` with `const auto&`.
