Let's say I have these template aliases:
enum class enabler {};
template <typename T>
using EnableIf = typename std::enable_if<T::value, enabler>::type;
template <typename T>
using DisableIf = typename std::enable_if<!T::value, enabler>::type;
I can do the following in GCC:
#include <iostream>
template <typename T, EnableIf<std::is_polymorphic<T>> = {}>
void f(T) { std::cout << "is polymorphic\n"; }
template <typename T, DisableIf<std::is_polymorphic<T>> = {}>
void f(T) { std::cout << "is not polymorphic\n"; }
struct foo { virtual void g() {} };
int main() {
f(foo {});
f(int {});
}
It prints:
is polymorphic
is not polymorphic
Which matches my expectations.
With clang that code does not compile. It produces the following error messages.

Should it compile? Which of the two compilers is faulty?
