Indeed, this sounds to be like an overkill application of feature test macros, but…

Subject: Re: [isocpp-core] Feature-test macro for ADL calls with template arguments?

I don’t recall if a feature test macro was discussed for this.

At the time, I think I would have thought one was not needed, but that could be wrong.

There is a workaround of sorts. If you add any function template with the same name and that will be found by normal lookup, then ADL will be done for the function template call with the explicit argument list.

namespace N {
struct A { };
template <typename T>
T func(const A&) { return T(); }
}
template <class T, int x[-sizeof(T)]> void func(); // something uncallable

void f() {
N::A a;
func<int>(a);
}

Which is not to say that we shouldn’t add a macro for this.

John.

P0846 gives us the ability to do ADL for calls to function templates with
explicit template arguments provided. Did we get a feature-testing macro
for it?

Doesn't seem that we have it.

For a rationale to consider having it: I have users who would like to
write ADL-only structured bindings
customization points and also allow them to be called with ADL calls;
library folks call this a "hidden friend".
When the macro is not defined, the fallback code would expose the
customization point (or not provide
it at all), but when it's defined, the customization point would be a
hidden friend. Structured bindings seem to be able
to call it anyway, but user code can't, before the language fix is implemented.
