Bug ID: 108114 Summary: Designated initialization of parent class results in error in C++20 mode Product: gcc Version: 12.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gawain.bolton at free dot fr Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 54095 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=54095&action=edit Code accepted with -std=c++17 and rejected with -std=c++20 The attached code generates the following error when compiled with -std=c++20: <source>: In function 'int main()': <source>:11:19: error: either all initializer clauses should be designated or none of them should be 11 | B b{{.a = 0}, .b = 1}; | ^ >From my understanding of the C++20 standard (cf. https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.init.general#nt:brace-or-equal-initializer) this code attached is valid since a designated-initializer-clause may be a braced-init-list. This code has no error or warning about designated initialization with -std=c++17 Clang generates a warning about mixed designated/non-designated initialization, which I believe is not merited, but this is not an error.
