I am trying to do something like this (in c++11):



#include <utility>

template <typename T>
struct base
using type = decltype( std::declval<T>().foo() );
;

struct bar : base<bar>
int foo() return 42;
;

int main()
bar::type x;



which fails with



prog.cc: In instantiation of 'struct base<bar>':
prog.cc:8:14: required from here
prog.cc:5:46: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct bar'
using type = decltype( std::declval<T>().foo() );
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
prog.cc:8:8: note: forward declaration of 'struct bar'
struct bar : base<bar> {
^~~


How can I declare an alias to the return type of bar::foo in base ? Is it not possible?



This question seems to be rather related: Special behavior for decltype of call operator for incomplete types, though I couldnt manage to apply the answer given there to my case.

          You can make type a template type alias, so that users can instantiate it after the definition of bar is available. This will change the final syntax from bar::type to bar::type<>.



          template <typename T>
          struct base
          template <typename G = T>
          using type = decltype( std::declval<G>().foo() );
          ;

          struct bar : base<bar>
          int foo() return 42;
          ;

          int main()
          bar::type<> x;

          • Unfortunately, type<> is not that useful inside a class scope. E.g., you can't write type<> foo2(); for a base's of bar's member function without using similar G = T trick.
