[PATCH] D84048: DR2303: Prefer 'nearer' base classes during template deduction.

[Erich Keane via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

erichkeane updated this revision to Diff 278825.
erichkeane added a comment.

Woops, left in a TODO from when I was planning on how to do this patch.  Should be ready now :)
