Bug #: 57153 Summary: [C++11] tries to use copy constructor for in-class initialized member in default constructor of template struct Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: f.heckenb...@fh-soft.de Created attachment 30014 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30014 Test case The included test case produces the following error: % g++-4.7 -std=c++11 test.cpp test.cpp: In constructor 'constexpr B<0>::B()': test.cpp:8:8: error: use of deleted function 'A::A(const A&)' test.cpp:4:3: error: declared here test.cpp: In function 'int main()': test.cpp:17:9: note: synthesized method 'constexpr B<0>::B()' first required here I don't think a copy constructor of the member should be needed for the default constructor of the containing struct. The error disappears when I declare the latter explicitly, but not when I declare it as "= default". Is also disappears if struct B is not a template. I don't see why this should make a difference.
