Template Argument Deduction Broken in Clang 6 for Temporary Objects

Question

Template argument deduction appears to be broken in Clang 6 for temporary objects.

g++ 8.1.0 compiles and runs the example correctly.

Clang 6.0.0 and 6.0.2 both error at the indicated line with this message:

error: expected unqualified-id
    Print{1,"foo"s,2};  /********** Broken in Clang **********/

All Other lines work correctly.

The behavior is the same in both cases whether -std=c++17 or -std=c++2a is used.

The Clang c++ Status Page indicates that template argument deduction was implemented as of Clang 5 (P0091R3, P0512R0).

Is this a bug? Are there workarounds (eg compiler flags, not code changes )?

example:

template<class ...Ts>
void print(Ts...ts){ (( cout << ... << ts )); }
template<class ...Ts>
struct Print {
    Print(Ts...ts){ (( cout << ... << ts )); }
};

int main(){
    Print{1,"foo"s,2}; /********** Broken in Clang **********/
    Print<int,string,int>{1,"foo"s,2};
    auto p1 = Print{1,"foo"s,2};
    Print p2{1,"foo"s,2};
    print(1,"foo"s,2);
}

This is Clang bug 34091 .

Luckily, it is already fixed, and the trunk build of Clang compiles this without issue .

As far as I know, however, there is currently no way to work around this without code changes, short of upgrading to the next Clang release whenever that comes out.
