Bug #: 56230 Summary: gcc aborts with "uninitialized const member" error even though an initializer is present Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.6.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: pav...@conky.be Created attachment 29375 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29375 the bug while compiling the attached file I get the following error: $ g++ -std=c++0x a.cc a.cc: In constructor 'A<Keys>::A(Keys ...) [with Keys = {}]': a.cc:25:9: instantiated from here a.cc:15:5: error: uninitialized member 'A<>::tuple' with 'const' type 'const Tuple {aka const atuple<>}' [-fpermissive] In my opinion, this is wrong, since I class A explicitly calls the tuple constructor, which should be synthesized by the compiler. I have several observations about this code: - the error does not occur if I remove the atuple<> specialization, or I provide a hand written default constructor. - it does, however, occur if I specify the constructor as "= default;" - it does not occur if I call atuple<> constructor directly (see class B). There has to be another template somewhere. - I noticed this bug because I had this error when using std::tuple, which provides an explicit specialization for the empty tuple and this specialization has no explicit constructors. $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
