Bug ID: 110911
Summary: Confusing diagnostic on misplaced static_assert
Product: gcc
Version: og13 (devel/omp/gcc-13)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pacoarjonilla at yahoo dot es
Target Milestone: ---
This code (note static_assert instead of static_cast)
#include <complex>
void f(float m)
{
std::complex<double> c = std::complex<double>(static_assert<double>(m),0);
}
generates the diagnostic
<source>: In function 'void f(float)':
<source>:4:50: error: expected primary-expression before '(' token
4 | std::complex<double> c =
std::complex<double>(static_assert<double>(m),0);
| ^
<source>:4:51: error: expected primary-expression before 'static_assert'
4 | std::complex<double> c =
std::complex<double>(static_assert<double>(m),0);
|
But the problem is not before the '(' token, nor before static_assert.
A suggestion such as "static_assert not valid here. Did you mean
'static_cast'?" would be nice.
