--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- So I'm looking again at this. For the simple cases I have at hand we can fix the C++ FE issue with diff --git a/gcc/cp/cvt.c b/gcc/cp/cvt.c index d035e611be4..81097942449 100644 --- a/gcc/cp/cvt.c +++ b/gcc/cp/cvt.c @@ -1645,7 +1645,12 @@ convert_to_void (tree expr, impl_conv_void implicit, tsub st_flags_t complain) } expr = build1 (CONVERT_EXPR, void_type_node, expr); } - if (! TREE_SIDE_EFFECTS (expr)) + if (! TREE_SIDE_EFFECTS (expr) + && ! (CONVERT_EXPR_P (expr) + && TREE_CODE (TREE_OPERAND (expr, 0)) == CALL_EXPR + && ! TREE_NOTHROW (TREE_OPERAND (expr, 0))) + && ! (TREE_CODE (expr) == CALL_EXPR + && ! TREE_NOTHROW (expr))) expr = void_node; return expr; } of course that relies on seeing f() or (void)f(), it already fails with (void)(1 + f()). We also diagnose such stmts as having no effect: t.ii: In function 'int bar(int*, int)': t.ii:13:10: warning: statement has no effect [-Wunused-value] 13 | 1 + foo (n); | ~~^~~~~~~~~ there's expr_noexcept_p that seems to work here even for 1 + foo () but I'm not sure it's the correct tool. But it would simplify a fix to diff --git a/gcc/cp/cvt.c b/gcc/cp/cvt.c index d035e611be4..4885a7c6584 100644 --- a/gcc/cp/cvt.c +++ b/gcc/cp/cvt.c @@ -1645,7 +1645,7 @@ convert_to_void (tree expr, impl_conv_void implicit, tsubst_flags_t complain) } expr = build1 (CONVERT_EXPR, void_type_node, expr); } - if (!
