Bug ID: 99749 Summary: Error when using std::string in a module (versions 11.0.1 20210307, 11.0.1 20210314, and 11.0.1 20210321) Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: patrick.kox at commandoregel dot be Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 50468 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=50468&action=edit AirlineTicket example code from Professional C++ 5th Edition When trying to compile the "AirlineTicket" example/exercise from the book Professional C++ (5th edition by Marc Gregoire) I'm getting the following error message when I use a std::string in my module. The complete error is: --------------------- In file included from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/string:55, of module /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/string, imported at AirlineTicket.cpp:3, of module airline_ticket, imported at main.cpp:2: /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/basic_string.h: In function ‘int main()’: /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/basic_string.h:431:7: error: ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ cannot be overloaded with ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ 431 | basic_string() | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/string:55, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/locale_classes.h:40, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/ios_base.h:41, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/ios:42, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/ostream:38, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/iostream:39, of module /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/iostream, imported at main.cpp:1: /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/basic_string.h:431:7: note: previous declaration ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ 431 | basic_string() | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/string:55, of module /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/string, imported at AirlineTicket.cpp:3, of module airline_ticket, imported at main.cpp:2: /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/basic_string.h:431:7: error: ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ cannot be overloaded with ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ 431 | basic_string() | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/string:55, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/locale_classes.h:40, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/ios_base.h:41, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/ios:42, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/ostream:38, from /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/iostream:39, of module /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/iostream, imported at main.cpp:1: /opt/gcc-11/include/c++/11.0.1/bits/basic_string.h:431:7: note: previous declaration ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ 431 | basic_string() | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ main.cpp:6:9: note: during load of binding ‘::AirlineTicket@airline_ticket’ 6 | AirlineTicket myTicket; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ make: *** [Makefile:76: debug] Error 1 --------------------- The code that I'm using is: --------------------- export module airline_ticket; import<string>; export class AirlineTicket{ public: AirlineTicket(); ~AirlineTicket(); double calculatePriceInDollars()const; std::string getPassengerName()const; void setPassengerName(std::string name); int getNumberOfMiles() const; void setNumberOfMiles(int miles); bool hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus() const; void setHasEliteSuperRecardsStatus(bool status); private: std::string m_passengerName{}; int m_numberOfMiles{}; bool m_hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus{}; }; AirlineTicket::AirlineTicket() : m_passengerName{"Unknown Passenger"}, m_numberOfMiles{0},m_hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus{false}{} AirlineTicket::~AirlineTicket() {} double AirlineTicket::calculatePriceInDollars() const { if (hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus()) { // Elite Super Rewards Customers fly for free. return 0; } // The cost of a ticket is the number of miles times 0.1. // Real airlines probably have a more complicated // formula! return getNumberOfMiles() * 0.1; } std::string AirlineTicket::getPassengerName()const { return m_passengerName; } void AirlineTicket::setPassengerName(std::string name) { m_passengerName = name; } void AirlineTicket::setPassengerInitial(char initial) { m_passengerInitial = initial; } int AirlineTicket::getNumberOfMiles() const { return m_numberOfMiles; } void AirlineTicket::setNumberOfMiles(int miles) { m_numberOfMiles = miles; } bool AirlineTicket::hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus() const { return m_hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus; } void AirlineTicket::setHasEliteSuperRecardsStatus(bool status) { m_hasEliteSuperRewardsStatus = status; } --------------------- When I remove the string from the code, it compiles without problem, also when I use a string in main() there is no error. Also the following 2 compile commands run without problem: g++ -Wall -Wextra -fmodules-ts -std=gnu++20 -pedantic -c -x c++-system-header iostream string and g++ -Wall -Wextra -fmodules-ts -std=gnu++20 -pedantic -c AirlineTicket.cpp I've attached a tarball with the AirlineTicket.cpp and main.cpp files
