Bug ID: 109761 Summary: Nested class destructor's noexcept specification incorrectly considered as too loose compared to the outer class Product: gcc Version: 11.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: andysem at mail dot ru Target Milestone: --- Consider the following piece of code: template< typename T > T declval() noexcept; struct base { virtual ~base() {} }; class outer : public base { protected: class nested { private: outer& m_outer; public: explicit nested(outer& o) noexcept(noexcept(o.on_nested_ctor())) : m_outer(o) { o.on_nested_ctor(); } nested(nested const&) = delete; nested& operator= (nested const&) = delete; ~nested() noexcept(noexcept(declval<outer&>().on_nested_dtor())) { m_outer.on_nested_dtor(); } }; public: ~outer() {} protected: void on_nested_ctor(); void on_nested_dtor(); }; This wrongly fails to compile: $ g++ -std=gnu++17 -o nested_noexcept_dtor.o -c nested_noexcept_dtor.cpp nested_noexcept_dtor.cpp:28:9: error: looser exception specification on overriding virtual function ‘outer::nested::~nested() noexcept (false)’ 28 | ~nested() noexcept(noexcept(declval<outer&>().on_nested_dtor())) | ^ nested_noexcept_dtor.cpp:6:13: note: overridden function is ‘virtual base::~base() noexcept’ 6 | virtual ~base() {} | ^ The compiler tries to match the ~nested() noexcept specification against the ~base()'s as if nested was derived from base, but it is not. ~nested() noexcept specification has no bearing on the outer class hierarchy. $ g++ -v Using built-in specs.
