[cfe-dev] Tool oddity

Looks like a bug in this:

  template<typename _Value>
    struct __numeric_traits
    : public __conditional_type<std::__is_integer<_Value>::__value,
    __numeric_traits_integer<_Value>,
    __numeric_traits_floating<_Value> >::__type
    { };

Which causes __numeric_traits_integer<_Value> to be evaluated with a
floating point type (which is the error you're seeing). std::conditional
doesn't "short circuit" (see e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24098278/stdconditional-compile-time-branch-evaluation
)

That would suggest that this code would always trigger this issue... but
I'm curious how this works with clang++ standalone, but not with the tool.
