Hi,

in this diagnostic issue Jon noticed that for testcases like:

template<class T1, class... Tn>
void foo(T1, Tn...);

int main()
{
  foo();
}

we provide diagnostic saying "candidate expects 2 arguments, 0 provided", whereas of course we want to say something like "candidate expects at least 1 argument, 0 provided". The below simply tries to refine the existing logic in type_unification_real. Note that while handling this bug, I noticed that we don't appear to be up to date wrt cases like:

template<class T1, class... Tn, class... Un>
void bar(T1, Tn..., Un...);

int main()
{
  bar(1);
}

which we do reject and very recently clang started accepting. On the other hand we accept:

int main()
{
  bar(1, 2);
}

which clang rejects. My patch doesn't even try to cope with that (do be honest, I didn't lookup the relevant DRs and resolutions), that seems to me an unrelated issue, definitely not just a diagnostic one.

Thanks,
Paolo.
