Bug ID: 81912
Summary: std::distance not constexpr in C++17 mode
Product: gcc
Version: 7.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gcc at hazardy dot de
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 42018
--> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=42018&action=edit
The test file.
Although std::distance is marked with _GLIBCXX17_CONSTEXPR the called
std::__iterator_category is not and thus std::distance can not be called in a
constexpr environment.
Tested with MinGW 7.1 on Windows and GCC 7.1 and 7.2 on godbolt [1]. The only
parameter used is -std=c++1z.

$ g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
