            Bug ID: 103511
           Summary: __builtin_bit_cast requires a constructor call
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: de34 at live dot cn
  Target Milestone: ---

According to [class.prop] p1, a trivially copyable class may have all of its
constructors deleted. And according to [bit.cast] p1, an object of such a class
type can be created or copied by std::bit_cast since C++20.
But currently gcc's __builtin_bit_cast seemly requires that the target type has
at least one eligible copy or move constructor.

#include <bit>

class Weird {
    Weird(const Weird&) = delete;
    Weird(Weird&&) = delete;
    // works when either constructor is changed to = default
    Weird &operator=(const Weird&) = default;
    Weird &operator=(Weird&&) = default;

    int value_;
};

int main()
{
    auto x [[maybe_unused]] = std::bit_cast<Weird>(0);
}
