clang does not compile code that gcc compiles

Question

There is a tuple implementation given here.

While the code compiles with gcc 4.8, with clang 3.5 it gives the following error: "expected expression" for the line return tail.get<M-1>();

I can't figure out what is wrong with the code and the error is not clear as to what is wrong.

That's a dependent expression, so it should be

return tail.template get<M-1>();

There's technically not enough information to know that, but it does seem like the most likely reason. – SirGuy Nov 16 '15 at 19:48

Erm, I looked at the code. The code is ill-formed. It's 100% absolutely definitely the reason for the error. – Jonathan Wakely Nov 16 '15 at 20:50
Oh my, I completely overlooked the link he provided. Hehehe, kindly disregard my comment. – SirGuy Nov 16 '15 at 21:21
