--- Comment #12 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-9 branch has been updated by Jason Merrill <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:c890c9650f3c4b1be1f39eabb74b438c033a8c08 commit r9-8294-gc890c9650f3c4b1be1f39eabb74b438c033a8c08 Author: Marek Polacek <pola...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Dec 20 23:30:04 2019 +0000 PR c++/92745 - bogus error when initializing array of vectors. In r268428 I changed reshape_init_r in such a way that when it sees a nested { } in a CONSTRUCTOR with missing braces, it just returns the initializer: + else if (COMPOUND_LITERAL_P (stripped_init) ... + ++d->cur; + gcc_assert (!BRACE_ENCLOSED_INITIALIZER_P (stripped_init)); + return init; But as this test shows, that's incorrect: if TYPE is an array, we need to proceed to reshape_init_array_1 which will iterate over the array initializers: 6006 /* Loop until there are no more initializers. */ 6007 for (index = 0; 6008 d->cur != d->end && (!sized_array_p || index <= max_index_cst); 6009 ++index) 6010 { and update d.cur accordingly. In other words, when reshape_init gets {{col[0][0], col[1][0], col[2][0], col[3][0]}, {col[0][1], col[1][1], col[2][1], col[3][1]}, {col[0][2], col[1][2], col[2][2], col[3][2]}, {col[0][3], col[1][3], col[2][3], col[3][3]}} we recurse on the first element: {col[0][0], col[1][0], col[2][0], col[3][0]} and we can't just move d.cur to point to {col[0][1], col[1][1], col[2][1], col[3][1]} and return; we need to iterate, so that d.cur ends up being properly updated, and after all initializers have been seen, points to d.end. Currently we skip the loop, wherefore we hit this: 6502 /* Make sure all the element of the constructor were used. Otherwise, 6503 issue an error about exceeding initializers. */ 6504 if (d.cur != d.end) 6505 { 6506 if (complain & tf_error) 6507 error ("too many initializers for %qT", type); 6508 return error_mark_node; 6509 } gcc/cp/ChangeLog 2019-12-19 Marek Polacek <pola...@redhat.com> PR c++/92745 - bogus error when initializing array of vectors. * decl.c (reshape_init_r): For a nested compound literal, do call reshape_init_{class,array,vector}. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog 2019-12-19 Marek Polacek <pola...@redhat.com> Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/92745 - bogus error when initializing array of vectors. * g++.dg/cpp0x/initlist118.C: New test. * g++.dg/cpp0x/initlist118.C: Add -Wno-psabi -w to dg-options.
