Description

Issue description

I have a class A and a subclass B, both registered by pybind11.

When enabling C++17 mode, I had to replace B::size with a lambda function, as pybind11 suddenly started tying this to "A", which was previously correctly using the correct thing in C++14 mode. Seems to happen on both GCC and Clang.

Reproducible example code

Might try to build a minimal example later , just wanted to get this in so I don't forget. Change to make tests pass here: https://github.com/scikit-hep/boost-histogram/pull/502/commits/6c93370e96b486f948ac7cef055dedcc6165e7d0 "boolean" is my subclass, and "integer_none" is the previously registered parent. https://github.com/scikit-hep/boost-histogram/pull/502

Research direction

Start with the referenced boost-histogram pull request and commit, comparing the C++14 and C++17 behavior for the registered parent and subclass. Produce a minimal reproducible example for the pybind11 binding issue; done means the correct subclass member is selected in both compiler modes and the regression is covered by a test.
