c++: too many errors with sneaky template [PR118516]
Since C++20 P0846, a name followed by a < can be treated as a template-name
even though name lookup did not find a template-name. That happens
in this test with "i < foo ()":
for (int id = 0; i < foo(); ++id);
and results in a raft of errors about non-constant foo(). The problem
is that the require_potential_constant_expression call in
cp_parser_template_argument emits errors even when we're parsing
tentatively. So we repeat the error when we're trying to parse
as a nested-name-specifier, type-name, etc.
Guarding the call with !cp_parser_uncommitted_to_tentative_parse_p would
mean that require_potential_constant_expression never gets called. But
we don't need the call at all as far as I can tell. Stuff like
template<int N> struct S { };
int foo () { return 4; }
void
g ()
{
S<foo()> s;
}
gets diagnosed in convert_nontype_argument. In fact, with this patch,
we only emit "call to non-constexpr function" once. (That is, in C++17
only; C++14 uses a different path.)
