Compiler Warning (level 1) C4836
Error Message
nonstandard extension used : 'type' : local types or unnamed types cannot be used as template arguments
The C++ standard does not allow the use of local types as template arguments, but the Visual C++ compiler does allow this under /Ze. C4836 is an informational warning, to let you know that you are writing non-conformant code. For more information, see /Za, /Ze (Disable Language Extensions).
C4836 is off by default. See Compiler Warnings That Are Off by Default for more information.
Example
The following sample generates C4836.
// C4836.cpp
// compile with: /W1
#pragma warning(default:4836)
template <class T>
struct TA {};
struct R {
public:
void f() {
struct S {};
TA<S> ta; // C4836
}
};
int main() {
R r;
r.f();
}
