Bug ID: 93769 Summary: Slightly wrong error message for static_asserts with no message Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gennaro.prota+gccbugzilla at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Compiling with -std=c++14 --pedantic, the following translation unit: static_assert(true); int main() { } yields: <source>:1:15: warning: static_assert without a message only available with '-std=c++17' or '-std=gnu++17' [-Wpedantic] This is not true, because the compiler accepts it even with -std=c++11 or -std=c++14. Assuming this is intentional (but, if not, the message would still need tweaking: e.g. it will be accepted with std=c++20, as well), I suggest to reword the error message to: static_assert without a message is non-standard before C++17
