--- Comment #2 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-15 branch has been updated by Jonathan Wakely <r...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:bbe9ec92138b1dfc7c61a3d8db7351ee57586388 commit r15-9828-gbbe9ec92138b1dfc7c61a3d8db7351ee57586388 Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwak...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jun 11 11:11:52 2025 +0100 libstdc++: Do not specialize std::formatter for incomplete type [PR120625] Using an incomplete type as the template argument for std::formatter specializations causes problems for program-defined specializations of std::formatter which have constraints. When the compiler has to find which specialization of std::formatter to use for the incomplete type it considers the program-defined specializations and checks to see if their constraints are satisfied, which can give errors if the constraints cannot be checked for incomplete types. This replaces the base class of the disabled specializations with a concrete class __formatter_disabled, so there is no need to match a specialization and no more incomplete type. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/120625 * include/std/format (__format::__disabled): Remove. (__formatter_disabled): New type. (formatter<char*, wchar_t>, formatter<const char*, wchar_t>) (formatter<char[N], wchar_t>, formatter<string, wchar_t>) (formatter<string_view, wchar_t>): Use __formatter_disabled as base class instead of formatter<__disabled, wchar_t>. * testsuite/std/format/formatter/120625.cc: New test.
