Hi! Already previously instantiated const variable templates had cp_apply_type_quals_to_decl called when they were instantiated, but if they need runtime initialization, their TREE_READONLY flag has been subsequently cleared. Explicit variable template instantiation calls grokdeclarator which calls cp_apply_type_quals_to_decl on them again, setting TREE_READONLY flag again, but nothing clears it afterwards, so we emit such instantiations into rodata sections and segfault when the dynamic initialization attempts to initialize them.
The following patch fixes that by not calling cp_apply_type_quals_to_decl on already instantiated variable declarations. Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2024-02-19 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Patrick Palka <ppa...@redhat.com> PR c++/113976 * decl.cc (grokdeclarator): Don't call cp_apply_type_quals_to_decl on DECL_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATED VAR_DECLs. * g++.dg/cpp1y/var-templ87.C: New test. --- gcc/cp/decl.cc.jj 2024-02-15 09:51:34.460065992 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/decl.cc 2024-02-19 19:18:09.839188137 +0100 @@ -15263,7 +15263,12 @@ grokdeclarator (const cp_declarator *dec /* Record constancy and volatility on the DECL itself .
