            Bug ID: 60673
           Summary: c++11 static thread_local members may cause a segfault
                    when accessed via 'this->'
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: michael at ensslin dot cc

In the following minimal example, f() causes a segfault in the compiled
program, while g() and h() don't.
Note that the error also occurs in clang++.

mic@mic-nb $ cat test.cpp
#include <string>

struct A{
    static thread_local std::string s;

    void f() {
        this->s = "segv";
    }

    void g() {
        A::s =    "no segv";
    }

    void h() {
        s =       "no segv";
    }
};

thread_local std::string A::s;

int main() {
    A{}.f();
    return 0;
}

mic@mic-nb $ g++ -std=c++11 -lpthread test.cpp         
mic@mic-nb $ ./a.out 
[1]    11729 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./a.out
mic@mic-nb $ clang++ -std=c++11 -lpthread test.cpp
mic@mic-nb $ ./a.out 
[1]    11764 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./a.out
