I don't really see how.  common_type<T>::type must be a type, not an object.  It seems strange that VS2010 is letting you derive from an object but not a type.

You might try this:

template <class _Tp, class _Arg, bool = is_void<_Tp>::value || is_void<_Arg>::value>
struct __is_assignable_imp
    : public decltype(__is_assignable_test(declval<_Tp>(), declval<_Arg>()))
        {};

I.e. remove the common_type wrapper around decltype.  However this will have to be #ifdef'd as clang chokes on it:

type_traits:1185:13: error: expected class name
            decltype((__is_assignable_test(declval<_Tp>(), declval<_Arg>())))
            ^
1 error generated.

I actually don't know /why/ clang doesn't like this as [class.derived]/p1 appears to allow it (looks like a clang bug to me).
