template<class IntT, IntT low = IntT(), IntT high = IntT()>
struct X 
{
    static_assert(std::is_same<decltype(low),decltype(high)>::value,"Different types not allowed");//this should give error if types are different
    decltype(low) a;
    decltype(high) b;
    X():a(decltype(a)()),b(decltype(b)())//WHY THIS DOES NOT COMPILE?
    {
        cout << typeid(a).name() << '\n';
        cout << typeid(b).name() << '\n';
    }
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{


    X<char,1,'a'> x;//this according to static_assert shouldn't compile but it does

    return 0;
}

Using VS2010.
