Summary: C++0x: ICE using union with non-trivial member Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: yacw...@gmail.com Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Created attachment 23936 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=23936 Test source - ICEs. If a union contains a member with a non-trivial default constructor, attempting to explicitly call (or decltype) the default constructor results in an ICE. (This relates to http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2544.pdf, implemented in GCC 4.6) Simplest example (attached). ====== union-non-trivial-member-simple.cpp ======== struct SFoo { SFoo() =delete; }; union UFoo { SFoo foo; }; int main() { UFoo(); } ==================================================== > g++ union-non-trivial-member-simple.cpp -std=c++0x ==================================================== ../union-non-trivial-member-simple.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: ../union-non-trivial-member-simple.cpp:13:8: internal compiler error: in build_value_init_noctor, at cp/init.c:374 ==================================================== NOTE: Line may not be 374 for you. I've indicated the line here: =========== cp/init.c ============== build_value_init_noctor (tree type, tsubst_flags_t complain) { if (CLASS_TYPE_P (type)) { gcc_assert (!TYPE_NEEDS_CONSTRUCTING (type)); // (<---- THIS LINE!!!!!! if (TREE_CODE (type) != UNION_TYPE) { ==================================== - Works as expected (error but no ICE) with copy constructor, assignment or destructor. - Works as expected (error but no ICE) for implicit declaration (eg: "UFoo foo;"). - Can reject valid code if using SFINAE. USEFULNESS: I am attempting to use SFINAE (using decltype) on a template union containing a given type to determine the trivial-ness of the given type's special member functions. [C++ standard:9.5.2] "...[Note: If any non-static data member of a union has a non-trivial default constructor (12.1 [class.ctor]), copy constructor (12.8 [class.copy]), copy assignment operator (12.8 [class.copy]), or destructor (12.4 [class.dtor]), the corresponding member function of the union must be user-declared or it will be implicitly deleted (8.4 [dcl.fct.def]) for the union. —end note]" Which (I hope) should allow classifications like "trivial class" to be calculated without relying on compiler-specific stuff. SPECS: gcc: version 4.7.0 2011-04-05 (experimental) (svn = 171986) gcc: version 4.6.0 2011-02-13 (experimental) (svn = 170074) - tested with both. - both GCCs manually patched by (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-04/msg00620.html) - patch is unlikely to have any effect. ubuntu: 10.10 (64 bit) intel: core2 duo HTH.
