--- Comment #5 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Patrick Palka <ppa...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:f5c1224708a0cf9cc2770c44bbbe7d0c883942be commit r14-9374-gf5c1224708a0cf9cc2770c44bbbe7d0c883942be Author: Patrick Palka <ppa...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Mar 7 16:39:20 2024 -0500 c++/modules: member alias tmpl partial inst [PR103994] Alias templates are weird in that their specializations can appear in both decl_specializations and type_specializations. They're always in the decl table, and additionally appear in the type table only at parse time via finish_template_type. There seems to be no good reason for them to appear in both tables, and the code paths end up stepping over each other in particular for a partial instantiation such as A<B>::key_arg<T> in the below modules testcase: the type code path (lookup_template_class) wants to set TI_TEMPLATE to the most general template whereas the decl code path (tsubst_template_decl called during instantiation of A<B>) already set TI_TEMPLATE to the partially instantiated TEMPLATE_DECL. This TI_TEMPLATE change ends up confusing modules which decides to stream the logically equivalent TYPE_DECL and TEMPLATE_DECL for this partial instantiation separately. This patch fixes this by making lookup_template_class dispatch to instantiate_alias_template early for alias template specializations. In turn we now add such specializations only to the decl table. This admits some nice simplification in the modules code which otherwise has to cope with such specializations appearing in both tables.
