Bug ID: 113008
Summary: Trivially default constructible requires default
member initializer before the end of its enclosing
class
Product: gcc
Version: 13.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: barry.revzin at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
This is related to bugs PR96645 and PR88165.
Consider this:
#include <type_traits>
template <typename T, int N>
struct Array {
T elems[N];
};
struct A {
struct B {
int i = 0;
};
static constexpr bool v1 = std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<B>;
static constexpr bool v2 =
std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<Array<B, 10>>;
};
Declaring v1 works (and it correctly evaluates to false).
Declaring v2 fails to compile entirely:
opt/compiler-explorer/gcc-trunk-20231213/include/c++/14.0.0/type_traits:3284:7:
required from 'constexpr const bool
std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<Array<A::B, 10> >'
3284 | = __is_trivially_constructible(_Tp);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<source>:14:37: required from here
14 | static constexpr bool v2 =
std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<Array<B, 10>>;
|
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/opt/compiler-explorer/gcc-trunk-20231213/include/c++/14.0.0/type_traits:3284:7:
error: default member initializer for 'A::B::i' required before the end of its
enclosing class
3284 | = __is_trivially_constructible(_Tp);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<source>:10:15: note: defined here
10 | int i = 0;
| ^~~~
If we know that B isn't trivially default constructible (A::v1 is initialized
to false), then can't we likewise also know that Array<B, 10> isn't trivially
default constructible?
