Matthijs van Duin <matthijsvanduin at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |matthijsvanduin at gmail dot com --- Comment #3 from Matthijs van Duin <matthijsvanduin at gmail dot com> --- This specifically appears to happen when the constructor has parameters of trivially copyable non-reference types, e.g. this fails: #include <assert.h> struct IntWrap { int x = 0; IntWrap &operator ++() { ++x; return *this; } }; struct Pair { IntWrap first, second; Pair( IntWrap x, IntWrap y ) : first{ x }, second{ y } { } }; int main() { IntWrap i; Pair p{ ++i, ++i }; assert( p.first.x == 1 && p.second.x == 2 ); // FAIL (p.first.x is 2) } but adding a destructor to IntWrap suffices to make it pass. Interestingly, when using simple ints there also appear to be very narrow constraints on the initializer arguments to trigger the bug: #include <assert.h> struct IntPair { int first, second; IntPair( int x, int y ) : first{ x }, second{ y } { } }; void testcase_fail() { int i = 0; IntPair p{ ++i, ++i }; assert( p.first == 1 && p.second == 2 ); // FAIL (p.first is 2) } void testcase_ok_1() { int i = 0; IntPair p{ ++i, ++i }; assert( p.first == 1 && p.second == 2 ); // ok int &j = i; IntPair q{ ++j, ++j }; assert( q.first == 3 && q.second == 4 ); // ok } void testcase_ok_2() { int i = 0; IntPair p{ (int &)++i, (int &)++i }; assert( p.first == 1 && p.second == 2 ); // ok } int main() { testcase_ok_1(); testcase_ok_2(); testcase_fail(); } even though the analogous testcases for IntWrap all fail. Related: bug 51253 (was supposed to have fixed this but evidently missed some cases) bug 65866 (incorrect -Wsequence-point diagnostic still being emitted) bug 70792 (dup of bug 65866 but discussion in comments covered this case)
