Bug ID: 88458 Summary: Conditional expression where the second and third operand are int and nullptr treated as ill-formed Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: yaghmour.shafik at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Given the following code char* ch4 = true ? 0 : nullptr; and compiling with the following flags: -std=c++17 gcc produces the following diagnostic: error: operands to ?: have different types 'int' and 'std::nullptr_t' 4 | char* ch4 = true ? 0 : nullptr; | ~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both clang and MSVC accepts this code w/o diagnostic, see godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/BraaEu I believe according to http://eel.is/c++draft/expr.cond#7.5 this is well-formed.
