--- Comment #8 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Patrick Palka <ppa...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:b256222910cfa4a9b2b477dff8954e51fdc36bb9 commit r10-7718-gb256222910cfa4a9b2b477dff8954e51fdc36bb9 Author: Patrick Palka <ppa...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Apr 8 13:14:42 2020 -0400 c++: Stray RESULT_DECLs in result of constexpr call [PR94034] When evaluating the initializer of 'a' in the following example struct A { A() = default; A(const A&); A *p = this; }; constexpr A foo() { return {}; } constexpr A a = foo(); the PLACEHOLDER_EXPR for 'this' in the aggregate initializer returned by foo gets resolved to the RESULT_DECL of foo. But due to guaranteed RVO, the 'this' should really be resolved to '&a'. Fixing this properly by immediately resolving 'this' and PLACEHOLDER_EXPRs to the ultimate object under construction would in general mean that we would no longer be able to cache constexpr calls for which RVO possibly applies, because the result of the call may now depend on the ultimate object under construction. So as a mostly correct stopgap solution that retains cachability of RVO'd constexpr calls, this patch fixes this issue by rewriting all occurrences of the RESULT_DECL in the result of a constexpr function call with the current object under construction, after the call returns. This means the 'this' pointer during construction of the temporary will still point to the temporary object instead of the ultimate object, but besides that this approach seems functionally equivalent to the proper approach. gcc/cp/ChangeLog: PR c++/94034 * constexpr.c (replace_result_decl_data): New struct.
