--- Comment #2 from James McCoy <jamessan at jamessan dot com> --- Apologies for leaving off the build/configure information. I shouldn't have assumed one would have access to Debian's compiler. --8<-- abel% g++ -v Using built-in specs.

Removing googletest from the picture was successful, so the example could be reduced to: --8<-- #include <msgpack.hpp> bool check_equality() { std::chrono::system_clock::time_point v(std::chrono::system_clock::time_point::min()); msgpack::zone z; msgpack::object obj(v, z); return obj.as<std::chrono::system_clock::time_point>() == v; } int main() { return check_equality(); } -->8-- This is what I then had creduce work with. The test script simply compiled the file twice, once with "g++ -std=c++11 -O0" and once with "g++ -std=c++11 -O1", verifying that the resulting binaries had an exit code of non-zero and zero, respectively. The bug reporting guidelines state to provide minimized test cases, so that's what I did. If there's more information, I'm happy to provide it. I'm not a compiler developer, so I'm not sure what information is needed.
