------- Comment #10 from mmitchel at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-03-08 22:28 ------- I think the code in Comment #1 is unambiguously invalid.
7.3.3/11 says says that a function declaration in namespace scope may not match the declaration of a function introduced by a using declaration; i.e., the following: namespace N { void f(); }; using N::f; void f(); is invalid. Making the functions templates does not change that. That paragraph also makes clear that the code in Comment #9 is valid. I don't see any DRs that suggest changes in this area. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26605
