Bug ID: 103091 Summary: Can't jump into scope of a variable with a nontrivial destructor in C++20 Product: gcc Version: 11.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: josephcsible at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- The C++17 standard says "A program that jumps from a point where a variable with automatic storage duration is not in scope to a point where it is in scope is ill-formed unless the variable has scalar type, class type with a trivial default constructor and a trivial destructor, a cv-qualified version of one of these types, or an array of one of the preceding types and is declared without an initializer (11.6)." The C++20 standard says "A program that jumps from a point where a variable with automatic storage duration is not in scope to a point where it is in scope is ill-formed unless the variable has vacuous initialization (6.7.3)." and "A variable is said to have vacuous initialization if it is default-initialized and, if it is of class type or a (possibly multi-dimensional) array thereof, that class type has a trivial default constructor." Note that the C++17 standard mentions a trivial destructor here, but the C++20 standard does not. Now consider this code: struct MyStruct { ~MyStruct() {} }; void foo() { goto x; MyStruct s; x: return; } It's ill-formed in C++17, but fine in C++20. However, we currently reject this program even with -std=c++20.
