Bug ID: 107488 Summary: [13 Regression] -Werror=dangling-reference false positives in cppunit Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: slyfox at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- cppunit-1.15.1 and a few other projects fail to compile due to -Werror on -Werror=dangling-reference. I think those are false positives. Extracted example from cppunit: // $ cat a.cpp.cpp #include <vector> int attributesAsString(std::vector<int> & v) { int attributes; std::vector<int>::const_iterator itAttribute = v.begin(); while ( itAttribute != v.end() ) { const int &attribute = *itAttribute++; attributes += attribute; } return attributes; } $ g++-13.0.0 -Werror=dangling-reference -c a.cpp.cpp -o a.o a.cpp.cpp: In function 'int attributesAsString(std::vector<int>&)': a.cpp.cpp:12:16: error: possibly dangling reference to a temporary [-Werror=dangling-reference] 12 | const int &attribute = *itAttribute++; | ^~~~~~~~~ a.cpp.cpp:12:40: note: the temporary was destroyed at the end of the full expression 'itAttribute.__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const int*, std::vector<int> >::operator++(0).__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const int*, std::vector<int> >::operator*()' 12 | const int &attribute = *itAttribute++; | ^~ $ g++-13.0.0 -v Using built-in specs.
