Bug ID: 95029 Summary: Compile error when using constant variable instead of literal Product: gcc Version: 10.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: maxi.matthe at googlemail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 48494 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=48494&action=edit Original source file triggering the bug. With the attached cpp-file, a strange behaviour is triggered. Tested with g++-10.1 built with docker (docker run gcc:10.1). The bug is also present in g++-7.5.0. Upon compiling the attached source file, this output is obtained: ===== # g++ -v -c -Wall -Wextra -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations -save-temps test_fragmentation.cpp Using built-in specs.

If I uncomment it, i.e. switch from const size_t PHY_SIZE = 112; PacketFragmenting frag(MaxPacketSize(MAX_PACKET_SIZE), PhySize(PHY_SIZE)); to PacketFragmenting frag(MaxPacketSize(MAX_PACKET_SIZE), PhySize(static_cast<size_t>(112))); the file compiles successfully. To me this seems like a bug, because it should make no difference if I use the const or the literal.
