Bug ID: 91850 Summary: linker can not locate constexpr static class array member when code compiled without optimization Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: veffremov.ve at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Affected versions: I have tried the following compiler versions gcc-8, gcc-6. Also tried compiling for X64 and ARM platform. All exhibit the same issue. Compiling the following snippet of code without optimization result in the linker complaining it can not find A::a Compiling with -O, -Os, -O1, -O2 or -O3 works fine Code to reproduce the issue: <<START #include <stdio.h> class A { public: static constexpr int a[2] = {1, 2}; static int m(int x) { return a[x]; } }; int main() { printf("R=%d", A::m(1)); return 0; } <<END Running on Ubuntu 19.04, the following command: 'g++ -o tt f1.cc' produces the error: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccVisGqO.o: in function `A::m(int)': f1.cc:(.text._ZN1A1mEi[_ZN1A1mEi]+0x17): undefined reference to `A::a' Running 'g++ -o tt -O1 f1.cc' completes with no errors. System details: OS: ubuntu 19.04, X64 machine GCC version: Using built-in specs.
