--- Comment #5 from Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Sergei Trofimovich from comment #0) > input_files.emplace_back(Z{ > arg.str(), // what is the lifetime of this temporary? This prvalue initializes the 'name' member of the Z temporary, there is no separate string temporary. > to_stage(arg), // why does this constructor matter? My fix for PR66139 fixed EH in aggregate initialization so that if evaluation of to_stage(arg) throws, we properly destroy the previously initialized 'name' member. That's the difference pinskia mentions. It is surprising that we warn with a user-provided copy constructor and don't with a defaulted constructor. It changes the code a bit because it means string_piece isn't trivially copyable, so we need to create a string_piece temporary for passing to to_stage instead of passing arg directly by bitwise copy, but I don't know why that would confuse the optimizers into thinking that _M_p might be uninitialized.
