--- Comment #10 from Paul Wankadia <junyer at google dot com> --- (In reply to Martin Sebor from comment #9) > Sorry, I haven't gotten to it yet. Was this bug fixed in GCC 7.x? :) I ask because the workaround in RE2 is conditioned thus: #if !defined(__clang__) && defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ == 6 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 1 No one has reported breakage with GCC 7.x (which is why I had forgotten about the bug until just now!) and our build matrix on Travis CI is clean.
