### 3235. `parse` manipulator without abbreviation is not callable

Discussion:

The `parse` overload that does not accept the abbreviation but does accept an offset, because the expression in the Remarks: clause:

>     from_stream(declval<basic_istream<charT, traits>*>(), fmt.c_str(), tp, nullptr, &offset)

is not valid. This is caused by deduction failure for the `basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>*` from `nullptr` (see this link):

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4830.

1. Modify 27.13 [time.parse] as indicated:

   > >     template<class charT, class traits, class Alloc, class Parsable>
   > >       unspecified
   > >         parse(const basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>& fmt, Parsable& tp,
   > >               minutes& offset);

   > -6- Remarks Constraints: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless The expression

   > >     from_stream(declval<basic_istream<charT, traits>&>(), fmt.c_str(), tp,
   > >       declval<basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>*>()nullptr, &offset)

   > is a valid well-formed expression when treated as an unevaluated operand.

   > -7- Returns: A manipulator that, when extracted from a `basic_istream<charT, traits> is`, calls `from_stream(is, fmt.c_str(), tp, static_cast<basic_string<charT, traits, Alloc>*>(nullptr), &offset)`.
