Bug ID: 104111 Summary: Concept evaluation depends on context where it was first checked Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: fchelnokov at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Please consider a concept and a class definitions: ``` template<class T> concept has_private = requires(){ &T::private_;}; class B{ int private_; friend class A; }; ``` If we first check the concept inside `A` then it will be always evaluated to true: ``` class A{ static_assert( has_private<B> ); }; static_assert( has_private<B> ); ``` Demo: https://godbolt.org/z/eYP6Tq7Y7 But if we first check the concept outside `A` then it will be always evaluated to false: ``` static_assert( !has_private<B> ); class A{ static_assert( !has_private<B> ); }; ``` Demo: https://godbolt.org/z/vsTx4oTaE Clang has the same behavior. At the same time MSVC always evaluates the concept to false, and it looks correct, because context evaluation shall not depend on the context. Related discussion: https://godbolt.org/z/vsTx4oTaE
