--- Comment #2 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Patrick Palka <ppa...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:f60570b26446781c0205981804f6aa4ff1708b12 commit r15-9226-gf60570b26446781c0205981804f6aa4ff1708b12 Author: Patrick Palka <ppa...@redhat.com> Date: Sat Apr 5 15:22:48 2025 -0400 c++: harmless use of 'this' rejected despite P2280R4 [PR118249] Here the implicit use of 'this' in inner.size() template argument was being rejected despite P2280R4 relaxations, due to the special *this handling in the INDIRECT_REF case of potential_constant_expression_1. This handling was originally added by r196737 as part of fixing PR56481, and it seems obsolete especially in light of P2280R4. There doesn't seem to be a good reason that we need to handle *this specially from other dereferences. This patch therefore removes this special handling. As a side benefit we now correctly reject some *reinterpret_cast<...>(...) constructs earlier, via p_c_e_1 rather than via constexpr evaluation (because the removed STRIP_NOPS step meant we'd overlook such casts), which causes a couple of diagnostic changes (for the better).
