[cfe-dev] Clang++-3.7 compilation error with CRTP code example

[Diptorup Deb via cfe-dev]

Hi,

In the below code I am trying to use CRTP to use the static member 
"value" from the Child class in the Parent class. When compiling the 
code with g++ 5.2.1 with the "-pedantic" flag, I am able to compile 
without errors or warning, and on execution both c.print_value(); and 
Child<int,4>::print_value(); print out 4.

------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>

template <typename DE>
struct Parent
{
     static const int value = DE::value;
     static void print_value ()
     {
         std::cout << "Value : " << value << '\n';
     }
};

template <typename T, int N>
struct Child : Parent< Child<T,N> >
{
     static const int value = N;
};

int
main ()
{
     Child<int,4> c;
     c.print_value();
     Child<int,4>::print_value();
}
------------------------------------------

However when compiling the same code with clang++3.7, I encounter 
compilation failures.

crtp_clang_error.cpp:9:32: error: no member named 'value' in 'Child<int, 4>'
static const int value = DE::value;
                        ~~~~^
crtp_clang_error.cpp:27:16: note: in instantiation of template class 
'Parent<Child<int, 4> >' requested here
struct Child : Parent< Child<T,N> >
            ^
crtp_clang_error.cpp:38:16: note: in instantiation of template class

   Child<int,4> c;
            ^
crtp_clang_error.cpp:40:3: error: no member named 'print_value' in 
'Child<int, 4>'; did you mean 'Parent<Child<int, 4> >::print_value'?
   Child<int,4>::print_value();
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Parent<Child<int, 4> >::print_value
crtp_clang_error.cpp:11:15: note: 'Parent<Child<int, 4> >::print_value' 
declared here
   static void print_value ()

Would kindly request some insight into this behaviour.

Best,
Dipto
