C4743 warning on explicit call of a templated function by Dmitry Me

This behavior is observed in cl.exe 16.00.40219.1

I have this code:


#pragma warning(default:4347)

template <size_t param>
void stuff( int value )
{
}

void stuff( int value )
{
    stuff<4>( value ); //Line 84
}

that I compile with /W4 and get this output:

1>Test.cpp(84): warning C4347: behavior change: 'void stuff<4>(int)' is called instead of 'void stuff(int)'

that makes no sense. Line 84 explicitly calls a templated function, there's no way a non-templated function would be called here and therefore there's no behavior change. The warning is just wrong.
