Bug ID: 81311 Summary: An std::ref argument calls copy constructor instead of template constructor in C++17 mode Product: gcc Version: 8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pdimov at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- In the following code: ``` #include <functional> #include <iostream> struct function { function() { std::cout << "function()\n"; } template<class F> function( F ) { std::cout << "function<F>(F)\n"; } function( function const& ) { std::cout << "function(function const&)\n"; } }; int main() { function f1; function f2( std::ref(f1) ); } ``` g++ 7.1 and 8 with -std=c++1z/17 call the copy constructor, whereas with -std=c++14 they call the template constructor (as do other compilers in all language modes.)
