--- Comment #6 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-15 branch has been updated by Nathaniel Shead <[email protected]>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:934b2d4ad4470b0acf8711d7406c65490877ac52 commit r15-10481-g934b2d4ad4470b0acf8711d7406c65490877ac52 Author: Nathaniel Shead <[email protected]> Date: Thu Oct 16 22:51:23 2025 +1100 c++: Don't constrain template visibility using no-linkage variables [PR122253] When finding the minimal visibility of a template, any reference to a dependent automatic variable will cause the instantiation to be marked as internal linkage. However, when processing the template decl we don't yet know whether that should actually be the case, as a given instantiation may not require referencing the local decl in its mangling. This patch fixes the issue by checking for no-linkage decls first, in which case we just constrain using the type of the entity. We can't use a check for lk_external/lk_internal in the other cases, as instantiations referring to internal types can still have external linkage as determined by the language, but should still constrain the visibility of any declarations that refer to them.
