Panic in bindgen: "Not an item"

[cbourjau]

I am trying to wrap some large c++ framework and bumped into the following issue using bindgen 0.31.1. It is a panic in bindgen. Frankly, I'm not sure what exactly is going on and the creduced sample is still quite cryptic to me. The panic message seems similar to issue #67. Thanks a lot in advance and for the fantastic thing that bindgen is! Here it goes:

Input C/C++ Header

template <typename> struct A;
struct _Select1st;
template <typename, typename, typename, typename, typename, typename, typename,
          typename, typename, typename, bool>
struct _Map_base;
template <typename _Key, typename _Pair, typename _Alloc, typename _Equal,
          typename _H1, typename _H2, typename _Hash, typename _RehashPolicy,
          typename _Traits>
struct _Map_base<_Key, _Pair, _Alloc, _Select1st, _Equal, _H1, _H2, _Hash,
                 _RehashPolicy, _Traits, true> {
  using __hashtable_base = A<_Traits>;
  using key_type = typename __hashtable_base::key_type;
  using mapped_type = typename _Pair::type;
  mapped_type &at(const key_type &);
};
template <typename _Key, typename _Pair, typename _Alloc, typename _Equal,
          typename _H1, typename _H2, typename _Hash, typename _RehashPolicy,
          typename _Traits>
auto _Map_base<_Key, _Pair, _Alloc, _Select1st, _Equal, _H1, _H2, _Hash,
               _RehashPolicy, _Traits, true>::at(const key_type &)
  -> mapped_type & {}

Bindgen Invocation

bindgen  \

    -- -x c++ --std=c++14  2>&1

Expected Results

I don't really expect bindgen to generate bindings for c++ code which I don't understand myself. But I would hope for a hint on what is going wrong.

Hello again,
here is a slightly simplified version reproducing the bug:

template <typename> struct A;
template <typename, typename, bool> struct _Map_base;
template <typename _Pair, typename _Traits>
struct _Map_base<_Pair, _Traits, true> {
  using __hashtable_base = A<_Traits>;
  using key_type = typename __hashtable_base::key_type;
  using mapped_type = typename _Pair::type;
  mapped_type &at(const key_type &);
};
template <typename _Pair, typename _Traits>
auto _Map_base<_Pair, _Traits, true>::at(const key_type &) -> mapped_type & {}

Thanks so much for the test-case, makes it much easier :)

I happen to be hitting this today, so I'm investigating a bit.

Thanks a lot for this super fast fix!
