Bug ID: 86922
Summary: Invoking templated PTMF on subclass gives false
strict-aliasing warning
Product: gcc
Version: 7.3.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: bmerry at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
When using a pointer-to-member-function which is a template parameter on an
instance of a derived class, I get a warning about type-punned pointers
breaking strict aliasing. Warning message and sample code are below.
This doesn't seem to be a recent regression. I get essentially the same warning
(modulo formatting) from 4.8.5, 7.3.0 and Ubuntu's pre-release 8.0.1 (all on
Ubuntu 18.04, x86-64).
The code:
class A
{
public:
int a;
void foo() const;
};
class B : public A {};
template<void (A::*Ptr)() const>
class Wrapper
{
public:
void operator()(const B &obj) const
{
return (obj.*Ptr)();
}
};
void call()
{
Wrapper<&B::foo> wrapper;
wrapper(B());
}
Command line:
g++ -c strict.cpp -Wall -O2
Output:
with void (A::* Ptr)() const = &A::foo]’:
strict.cpp:23:16: required from here
strict.cpp:16:26: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
return (obj.*Ptr)();
