Problem with std::endl, left-shift operator and valarray

[Sébastien Aubry <sebastien.aubry31@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I cannot compile the following (reduced) code under CentOS 7.2 using
GCC 4.8.1, 4.8.5, 4.9.2, 5.2.0 (but it works with GCC 4.4.7).
It works fine under Linux Mint 18.1 with GCC 4.9.3 or 5.4.0.

The problem appears when I add the #include <valarray> statement,
despite not being used inside the code. The compiler tries to
instantiate std::valarray<Logger>.


Thanks

Regards

Sébastien Aubry



#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>

class Logger {
    public:
    Logger& operator<<(std::ostream& (*pf)(std::ostream&));

    private :
    virtual void write() = 0;
};

void test() {
    Logger *logger = NULL;
    *logger << std::endl;
}
