Bug ID: 96183 Summary: GCC accepts "convert '<throw-expression>' from 'void' to 'int'" at compile time Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: accepts-invalid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: haoxintu at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Hi,all. This code, test.cc, is an invalid code but GCC accepts it. $cat test.cc void foo ( auto, int var = throw ) {} $g++ test.cc test.cc:3:5: warning: use of ‘auto’ in parameter declaration only available with ‘-fconcepts-ts’ 3 | auto, | ^~~~ When I add -fconcepts-ts, GCC accepts this without any diagnostic message. While in clang $clang++ -c test.cc test.cc:3:5: error: 'auto' not allowed in function prototype auto, ^~~~ test.cc:4:9: error: cannot initialize a parameter of type 'int' with an rvalue of type 'void' int var = throw ) ^ ~~~~~ test.cc:4:9: note: passing argument to parameter 'var' here 2 errors generated. The first error is ok because GCC emits an warning. I know when call foo() will trigger the runtime error. But should GCC emit the error message like the second error in clang at compile time? Or is this a intentional way when GCC dealing with "auto" in function prototype? Every GCC versions from 6.1 to trunk behave the same. Thanks, Haoxin
