We've tried to build Telegram Desktop with GCC 12 and got such error:
http://paste.mva.name/co36VoGr.txt
There is a struct A { vector<B> b; }, where B is a declared, but not defined
struct:
https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/blob/dev/Telegram/SourceFiles/passport/passport_panel_edit_scans.h#L38
In the same header later in a method there is am argument of type optional<A>
with a default value nullopt:
https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/blob/dev/Telegram/SourceFiles/passport/passport_panel_edit_scans.h#L75
When I read the error text that the compiler gave me (link above) I see, that
it wants to instantiate this constructor:
constexpr std::_Optional_base<Passport::ScanListData, false,
false>::_Optional_base() = default;
and for that it tries to instantiate (why? what for?) this destructor method:
std::_Optional_payload<Passport::ScanListData, false, false,
false>::~_Optional_payload
Which of course it can't instantiate, because the destructor of ScanListData is
not available in that place of the code, this struct is not defined yet. But
why does it need this destructor? This constructor of optional(nullopt_t) never
calls this destructor.
All major compilers (MSVC, GCC, Clang) of all (tried) modern versions (in case
of GCC — before 12) build this code without problems. Is this a GCC regression?
