Bug ID: 64527
Summary: Constructor for empty struct not called in some
situations
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gcc at swtaarrs dot com

c++ code exposing the bug
Build ctor.cpp with the following command:
> g++ -std=c++11 -Os -S -o ctor.S ctor.cpp
The optimization level doesn't appear to affect the presence of the bug, I just
used -Os to keep the output more compact.
Expected results: The m() function in ctor.S should contain a call to A::A().
Actual results: m() does nothing but zero out accessor::x. I've found at least
three ways to perturb the bug out of existence which are documented in comments
in the file.
The bug is also present in gcc 4.8.1 (I haven't tried anything older).
Compiling with -Wextra reports "warning: missing initializer for member
‘accessor::a’ [-Wmissing-field-initializers]" but I believe this shouldn't
affect the ouput.
