Summary: [C++0x] const variables initialised with constexpr
constructor placed in .data not .rodata
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: [email protected]

This bug is similar but not exactly like bug 4131. That bug is requesting that
regular, unmarked constructors be discovered to be trivial and pre-initialised
into .data or even .rodata. In this case here, we have the C++0x constexpr
marker added to the constructor already.
Given the following source code:
====8<-----
struct Data
{
int i;
};
extern const Data test_data = { 1 };
====8<-----
Compiled with
g++ -O3 -S
produces as expected (trimmed):
====8<-----
.section .rodata
test_data:
.long 1
====8<-----
However, if we add a constexpr constructor and make the code as:
====8<-----
struct Data
{
int i;
constexpr inline Data(int i = 0) : i(i+1) {}
};
extern const Data test_data = { 1 };
====8<-----
The "+1" is added to confirm that the constexpr constructor was evaluated at
compile time. Compiled the same way produces no errors, however, it generates
the code:
====8<-----
.data
test_data:
.long 2
====8<-----
The constructor was evaluated and the result was properly calculated. However,
the result is stored in .data instead of .rodata as expected.
