--- Comment #14 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jason Merrill <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:8ef5fa4c56c82dfbd6e8fc5e4e08c4be843abc3e commit r13-2627-g8ef5fa4c56c82dfbd6e8fc5e4e08c4be843abc3e Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwak...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jun 30 17:53:26 2022 +0100 c++: Refer to internal linkage for -Wsubobject-linkage [PR86491] Since C++11 relaxed the requirement for template arguments to have external linkage, it's possible to get -Wsubobject-linkage warnings without using any anonymous namespaces. This confuses users when they get diagnostics that refer to an anonymous namespace that doesn't exist in their code. This changes the diagnostic to say "has internal linkage" for C++11 and later, if the type isn't actually a member of the anonymous namespace. Making that distinction involved renaming the current decl_anon_ns_mem_p to something that better expresses its semantics. For C++98 template arguments declared with 'static' are ill-formed anyway, so the only way this warning can arise is via anonymous namespaces. That means the existing wording is accurate for C++98 and so we can keep it. PR c++/86491 gcc/cp/ChangeLog: * decl2.cc (constrain_class_visibility): Adjust wording of -Wsubobject-linkage for cases where anonymous namespaces aren't used. * tree.cc (decl_anon_ns_mem_p): Now only true for actual anonymous namespace members, rename old semantics to... (decl_internal_context_p): ...this. * cp-tree.h, name-lookup.cc, pt.cc: Adjust. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * g++.dg/warn/anonymous-namespace-3.C: Use separate dg-warning directives for C++98 and everything else. * g++.dg/warn/Wsubobject-linkage-5.C: New test.
