Bug #: 51143
Summary: [C++11][DR1159] Alias template allows class definition
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: daniel.krueg...@googlemail.com
CC: ja...@redhat.com
gcc 4.7.0 20111112 (experimental) in C++11 mode accepts the following program
(if variable a2 is commented out):
//---
template<int N>
using A1 = struct B1 { static auto constexpr value = N; };
A1<0> a1;
template<class T>
using A2 = struct B2 { void f(T){} };
A2<bool> a2; // Causes ICE
int main() { } // Line 11
//---
If a2 is commented in (as shown) an ICE is produced:
"main.cpp|11|internal compiler error: in is_base_type, at dwarf2out.c:9643"
According to 7.1.6 [dcl.type] p3 both alias template definitions should be
rejected:
"A type-specifier-seq shall not define a class or enumeration unless it
appears in the type-id of an alias-declaration (7.1.3) that is not the
declaration of a template-declaration."
This sentence was added to honor NB comment US 74 via:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#1159
The current implementation correctly rejects enumeration definitions and
unnamed class definitions, though.
