Inline should only be used as a hint, so this would qualify as a
compiler error, and a pretty odd one at that. Maybe it is a good idea
not to use the inline keyword in that compiler (possibly as harsh as
#define inline <nothing>) or to request that the compiler writers find
out what's causing this?

If that is not possible,  you might be able to use SFINAE to remove
the overload or to make a define for removing it on compilers which
have that bug. My first inclination is to fix the compiler as it
handles a hint wrongly (and can just ignore it).

Peter
