Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed| |2023-03-15 --- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This terminates with an exception, but I think it's valid. #include <algorithm> const int global = 0; struct X { void operator=(const int& i) { if (&i != &global) throw 1; } }; int main() { X x; std::fill(&x, &x+1, global); } So I think the std::fill (and std::fill_n) optimizations need to consider the iterator's value type as well as the _Tp type.
