Bug ID: 90669
Summary: go/gofrontend/types.cc:2805 contains range-based ‘for’
loops which are not C++98
Product: gcc
Version: 10.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: go
Assignee: ian at airs dot com
Reporter: jamborm at gcc dot gnu.org
CC: cmang at google dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Host: x86_64-linux
Target: x86_64-linux
When I attempted to build the Go front-end on a SLES 12 machine with
gcc 4.8 system compiler which has g++ defaulting to C++98, I
encountered the following compilation error:
/path/to/gcc/src/gcc/go/gofrontend/types.cc: In member function ‘std::string
Ptrmask::symname() const’:
/path/to/gcc/src/gcc/go/gofrontend/types.cc:2805:21: error: range-based ‘for’
loops are not allowed in C++98 mode
for (char c : digest)
...and indeed that is what is in the source file since r271322.
According to the documentation
(https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html) C++98 should be
sufficient to build GCC.
