Bug ID: 105571 Summary: Spurious "set but not used" on static constexpr local, used in lambda Product: gcc Version: 12.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: cuzdav at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- With -Wall, in every c++ language level on virtually every version of g++ as far back as 4.9, g++ warns ("variable 'THIS_IS_USED' set but not used") on the following complete code: template <typename IterT, typename FuncT> void for_each(IterT b, IterT e, FuncT f) { while (b != e) { f(*b++); } } volatile int sink; void xxx(int x) { sink = x; } void foo() { static constexpr auto THIS_IS_USED = 1; int arr[10]{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; for_each(arr, arr+10, [](auto v) { xxx(THIS_IS_USED + v); }); } <source>: In function 'void foo()': <source>:15:27: warning: variable 'THIS_IS_USED' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] 15 | static constexpr auto THIS_IS_USED = 1; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ Compiler returned: 0 https://godbolt.org/z/b1s5Yqb3r This appears to be related to the "auto" parameter in the lambda. Changing it to 'int' makes the problem go away.
