Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, does this look OK for trunk and perhaps 14? Not sure about backporting further given the original fix seems harmless.
-- >8 -- It turns out the reason the behavior of this testcase changed after CWG 2369 is because validity of the substituted return type is now checked later, after constraints. So a more reliable workaround for this issue is to add a constraint to check the validity of the return type earlier, restoring the pre-CWG 2369 semantics. PR libstdc++/104606 libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * include/std/optional (operator<=>): Revert r14-9771 change. Add constraint checking the validity of the return type compare_three_way_result_t before the three_way_comparable_with constraint. --- libstdc++-v3/include/std/optional | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/optional b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/optional index 832dc6fd84b..a616dc07b10 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/optional +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/optional @@ -1685,7 +1685,8 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION template<typename _Tp, typename _Up> requires (!__is_derived_from_optional<_Up>) - && three_way_comparable_with<_Up, _Tp> + && requires { typename compare_three_way_result_t<_Tp, _Up>; } + && three_way_comparable_with<_Tp, _Up> constexpr compare_three_way_result_t<_Tp, _Up> operator<=> [[nodiscard]] (const optional<_Tp>& __x, const _Up& __v) { return bool(__x) ? *__x <=> __v : strong_ordering::less; } -- 2.49.0.rc0
