Bug ID: 98637
Summary: Changing active union member via assignment expression
should require trivial default constructor in
constexpr context
Product: gcc
Version: 11.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: m.cencora at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
According to http://eel.is/c++draft/class.union#general-6 following code should
be rejected
because changing of active union member via assignment expression should be
allowed only for classes with non-deleted trivial default constructor.
This is per Richard Smith's comment in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48453
g++ -std=c++20
#include <memory>
struct NonTrivial
{
constexpr NonTrivial() : b(true) {}
bool b;
};
union Un
{
bool f1;
NonTrivial f2;
};
constexpr bool test()
{
Un un{ .f1 = false };
un.f2 = {}; // should be an error here, and require
std::construct_at(&un.f2);
return un.f2.b;
}
static_assert(test());
