The following code:

#include <type_traits>

struct X 
 static constexpr void x() 
;

template <class T1, class T2>
constexpr bool makeFalse() return false; 

template <class T>
void foo() 
 T tmp;
 auto f = [](auto type) 
 if constexpr (makeFalse<T, decltype(type)>()) 
 T::x(); // <- clang does not discard
 else 
 // noop
 
 ;


int main() 
 foo<int>();

does not compile with Clang, but compiles with GCC. I can't see anything wrong with this code, but I'm not sure. Is Clang right not compiling it?

  worth mentioning that T is not dependant on the lambda template parameter. Don't know however how if constexpr should handle that.

[stmt.if]/2:

During the instantiation of an enclosing templated entity, if the condition is not value-dependent after its instantiation, the discarded substatement (if any) is not instantiated.

Since makeFalse<T, decltype(type)>() is value-dependent after the instantiation of foo<int>, it appears that T::x() should be instantiated per the standard, and since T::x is ill-formed when T is int, Clang is right not compiling it.

  Wouldn't this reasoning imply that a hypothetical if constexpr (makeFalse<decltype(type)>) type.x(); would not be discarded either?

  @Barry Yes. But type.x() is a dependent and possibly valid expression after the instantiation.

  I think "possibly valid" is muddling things, I don't think that's relevant necessarily. Are you saying it won't be discarded even if makeFalse<decltype(type)> is false? Assume it's actually an interesting check... more like if constexpr (can_x<decltype(type)>) type.x();

  @Barry Let me try to clarify. There are two instantiations that can be involved: (1) the instantiation of foo (2) the instantiation of f's function call operator template (which does not happen in OP's example). (1) does not discard either branch, because the condition is still value-dependent after it. If either branch is ill-formed after (1), an error will occur (but [temp.res]/8 may kick in when an expression in a branch is dependent). (2) does discard one branch because the condition is no longer dependent.
