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

using type = decltype( std::declval<T>().foo() );
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

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.
