While going through constexpr bugs looking for background
on one I'm currently working on I came across bug 65579 -
[C++11] gcc requires definition of a static constexpr member
even though it is not odr-used.
The bug points out that GCC (sometimes) emits references to
static constexpr data members of class templates even when
they aren't odr-used. (A more detailed analysis of why this
happens is in my comment #1 on the bug.)
This should have been fixed up in complete_vars; why didn't it work?
IIUC, the job of complete_vars(CLASS) is to complete the type of
variables of class CLASS. In the test case from the bug (below),
the type of constexpr_member is not CLASS (struct B) but rather
struct A<0>, so its type is never completed there, or apparently
anywhere else.
template <int> struct A { int i; };
struct B {
static constexpr A<0> constexpr_member = { 1 };
};
Oops, I clearly wasn't reading the testcase closely enough.
Then it seems the bug is that we aren't calling complete_type before
cp_apply_type_quals_to_decl.
