Hi! In r245223 cp_parser_postfix_dot_deref_expression has been changed to workaround some buggy template code with a pedwarn instead of error, in r245440 Marek tweaked that by adding the && EXPR_P (postfix_expression) because we really don't want to clear TREE_TYPE on OVERLOADs or on DECLs that have incomplete type.
There are some expression types where we don't want to clear TREE_TYPE either, like *CAST_EXPR, or VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR, these in various spots assume they have non-NULL TREE_TYPE. So, the following patch extends it by looking at the various postfix_expression kinds and deciding what to do by tweaking kind. Changing kind from DK_PEDWARN where it pedwarns + clears TREE_TYPE and scope to DK_ERROR will result in an error + what we used to do before r245223, i.e. scope = error_mark_node and postfix_expression = error_mark_node too. Changing kind to DK_IGNORED will do what Marek's patch did, not diagnose anything at that point, let other code diagnose incomplete type later on or diagnose some other error. For OVERLOAD that seems like a better choice, not really sure about other cases. For now the patch uses DK_ERROR and thus what we used to do before r245223 for non-OVERLOAD. At least when not processing_template_decl I'd say it is better to error right away. Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? Or should I change the switch body to do other kind = overrides? 2018-01-29 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/84082 * parser.c (cp_parser_postfix_dot_deref_expression): Don't clear TREE_TYPE in templates on expressions that don't allow NULL TREE_TYPE, use error instead of pedwarn in that case and set scope and postfix_expression to error_mark_node. * g++.dg/template/incomplete11.C: New test. * g++.dg/parse/crash67.C: Expect an incomplete type diagnostics too. --- gcc/cp/parser.c.jj 2018-01-18 00:42:02.287016215 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/parser.c 2018-01-29 16:07:06.381822967 +0100 @@ -7450,9 +7450,7 @@ cp_parser_postfix_dot_deref_expression ( (scope, current_class_type)))) { scope = complete_type (scope); - if (!COMPLETE_TYPE_P (scope) - /* Avoid clobbering e.g. OVERLOADs or DECLs. */ - && EXPR_P (postfix_expression)) + if (!COMPLETE_TYPE_P (scope)) { /* In a template, be permissive by treating an object expression of incomplete type as dependent (after a pedwarn). */ @@ -7460,15 +7458,45 @@ cp_parser_postfix_dot_deref_expression ( && MAYBE_CLASS_TYPE_P (scope) ?
