Extended Description

The following program:

#include <type_traits>

template<class T, class Allocator>
struct my_container
{
my_container(int n, Allocator alloc = Allocator()) {}
};

template
struct my_not_default_constructible_allocator
{
// no default ctor
my_not_default_constructible_allocator(int) {}
};

int main()
{
bool result = std::is_constructible<my_container<int, my_not_default_constructible_allocator>, int>::value;

return 0;
}

Yields a compile time error:

Other compilers accept the input as expected:
