--- Comment #4 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> --- clang on Darwin rejects the code thus: $ ./bin/clang++ /src-local/gcc-master/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/opt/icf1.C -o i1 -std=c++14 /src-local/gcc-master/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/opt/icf1.C:5:3: error: 'no_unique_address' attribute only applies to non-bit-field non-static data members 5 | [[no_unique_address]] extern const int i[] = { 1,2,3 }; this seems to agree with the current WD: https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.attr.nouniqueaddr "9.12.11 No unique address attribute [dcl.attr.nouniqueaddr] 1 # The attribute-token no_unique_address specifies that a non-static data member is a potentially-overlapping subobject ([intro.object]). No attribute-argument-clause shall be present. The attribute may appertain to a non-static data member other than a bit-field. " since the objects in the test case are not non-static, non-bitfield data members, any application of the attribute would be a GCC extension, I guess? What is the intent?
