When you instantiate A<double>, the declaration of the template constructor is also instantiated, but at that point A<double> is an incomplete type. IMO you need one further indirection, e.g. template<class T> struct A { template<class U = T, class = typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<U, int>::value>::type > A(A const&){} }; Btw.: Neither of these forms can ever prevent the "real" copy constructor to be declared, defined, and used by the compiler. > I am not sure what is supposed to happen (that's why I tried), but this result > doesn't seem right.

Lets look what the compiler-intrinsic people say, above is my first guess on that.
