           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

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.
