__ptrauth qualified pointers can be template parameters, and can be deduced, however the qualifier itself cannot be dependent, e.g.

```cpp
template <class T> struct Foo {
  T v;
  T *__ptrauth(1,1,1000) ptr;
};

```

Is valid, and can be instantiated as you would expect with `Foo<int>`, `Foo<int *>`, or `Foo<int *__ptrauth(1,1,1)>`.

However you can't use template parameters in the qualifier itself, e.g.

```cpp
template <unsigned u> struct Foo {
   void * __ptrauth(1,1,u) ptr;
}
```

is not valid, but that's just because supporting such has never been high enough on the priority list.

Because functions can't take __ptrauth qualified parameters something like

```
template <class T> void f(T);
...
void *__ptrauth (1,1,1) ptr;
f(ptr)
```

results in the type decaying during deduction so the deduced parameter type is just `void*`.
