--- Comment #8 from Marek Polacek <mpolacek at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The following (untested) should work: --- a/gcc/cp/decl.c +++ b/gcc/cp/decl.c @@ -6113,6 +6113,7 @@ make_rtl_for_nonlocal_decl (tree decl, tree init, const char* asmspec) not emitted into the object file unnecessarily. */ filename = LOCATION_FILE (input_location); if (!DECL_VIRTUAL_P (decl) + && !DECL_DECLARED_CONSTEXPR_P (decl) && TREE_READONLY (decl) && DECL_INITIAL (decl) != NULL_TREE && DECL_INITIAL (decl) != error_mark_node My reasoning is that we shouldn't defer assembling the variable if it might be needed in the constexpr context.
