Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jason at gcc dot gnu.org, | |ppalka at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #4 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Even template <typename T> constexpr T foo (T x) noexcept { bool a = __builtin_is_constant_evaluated (); return 4 * __alignof (int); } template <typename T> struct A { T a, b, c; }; template <typename T> struct alignas (foo (sizeof (A<T>))) B { A<T> d; }; B<int> e; I see that the foo (sizeof (A<T>) expression is constexpr evaluated once without manifestly_const_eval and with allow_non_constant set, so because of the __builtin_is_constant_evaluated () fails in that case, as it isn't a manifestly constant evaluation but manifestly constant evaluation could appear later. It isn't evaluated with it later though. alignas argument is a constant expression (or type id), so at some point it should be evaluated with manifestly_const_eval set. Under the hood, we transform alignas into the gnu::aligned attribute, so the question is, shall we treat as manifestly constant expression just alignas argument, or gnu::aligned attribute's argument as well, or some other attribute's arguments too? And where exactly we'd evaluate those arguments? Seems the C++ FE has cp_check_const_attributes for this, but there it just calls: if (EXPR_P (expr)) TREE_VALUE (arg) = fold_non_dependent_expr (expr); which is non-manifestly constant evaluated and doesn't guarantee it will be a constant expression (we then just error if it is not later on).
