Hi! As mentioned in the PR, C++98 didn't allow static data members nor any members with reference type, and r211318 guarded all that with cxx_dialect < cxx11. Which is correct for the VAR_P check, but as C++11 and later says that non-static data members of reference type are ill-formed in unions, for C++11 and later we need to allow reference type on static data members and disallow it on FIELD_DECLs.
On some testcases the invalid C++11+ would work fine, but on the attached pr78890-1.C g++ ICEd. Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2017-01-02 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/78890 * class.c (check_field_decls): Diagnose REFERENCE_TYPE fields in unions even for C++11 and later. * g++.dg/init/ref14.C: Expect error even in C++11 and later. * g++.dg/init/union1.C: Likewise. * g++.dg/cpp0x/union6.C: Expect errors. * g++.dg/cpp0x/union8.C: New test. * g++.dg/cpp0x/pr78890-1.C: New test. * g++.dg/cpp0x/pr78890-2.C: New test. --- gcc/cp/class.c.jj 2017-01-01 12:45:44.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/class.c 2017-01-02 10:03:43.119034899 +0100 @@ -3759,16 +3759,17 @@ check_field_decls (tree t, tree *access_ /* When this goes into scope, it will be a non-local reference. */ DECL_NONLOCAL (x) = 1; - if (TREE_CODE (t) == UNION_TYPE - && cxx_dialect < cxx11) + if (TREE_CODE (t) == UNION_TYPE) { /* [class.union] (C++98) If a union contains a static data member, or a member of reference type, the program is ill-formed. - In C++11 this limitation doesn't exist anymore. */ - if (VAR_P (x)) + In C++11 [class.union] says: + If a union contains a non-static data member of reference type + the program is ill-formed. */ + if (VAR_P (x) && cxx_dialect < cxx11) { error ("in C++98 %q+D may not be static because it is " "a member of a union", x); @@ -3776,9 +3777,18 @@ check_field_decls (tree t, tree *access_ } if (TREE_CODE (type) == REFERENCE_TYPE) { - error ("in C++98 %q+D may not have reference type %qT " - "because it is a member of a union", x, type); - continue; + if (cxx_dialect < cxx11) + { + error ("in C++98 %q+D may not have reference type %qT " + "because it is a member of a union", x, type); + continue; + } + else if (TREE_CODE (x) == FIELD_DECL) + { + error ("non-static data member %q+D in a union may not " + "have reference type %qT", x, type); + continue; + } } } --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/init/ref14.C.jj 2014-06-09 11:01:13.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/init/ref14.C 2017-01-02 10:10:47.629616381 +0100 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ union A { - int &i; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" "" { target { ! c++11 } } } + int &i; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } }; void foo() --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/init/union1.C.jj 2014-06-09 11:01:13.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/init/union1.C 2017-01-02 10:11:05.667386144 +0100 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ // PR c++/14401 union U { - int& i; // { dg-error "reference type" "" { target { ! c++11 } } } + int& i; // { dg-error "reference type" } }; --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/union6.C.jj 2014-06-09 11:01:13.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/union6.C 2017-01-02 10:10:20.152967097 +0100 @@ -12,9 +12,9 @@ union Test2 { const int Test2::kConstant = 10; union Test3 { - int& kConstant; + int& kConstant; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } }; union Test4 { - const int& kConstant = 10; + const int& kConstant = 10; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } }; --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/union8.C.jj 2017-01-02 10:30:59.981111680 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/union8.C 2017-01-02 10:32:05.715270255 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +// PR c++/78890 +// { dg-do compile { target c++11 } } + +union Test1 { + static int kConstant; +}; + +union Test2 { + static const int kConstant; +}; + +const int Test2::kConstant = 10; + +int k; + +union Test3 { + static int& kRef; +}; + +int& Test3::kRef = k; + +union Test4 { + static const int& kRef; +}; + +const int& Test4::kRef = 10; --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/pr78890-1.C.jj 2017-01-02 10:24:42.406944789 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/pr78890-1.C 2017-01-02 10:24:38.101999895 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +// PR c++/78890 +// { dg-do compile { target c++11 } } + +int +main() +{ + union { + int a; + int &b = a; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } + }; + a = 1; + auto c = b + 1; +} --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/pr78890-2.C.jj 2017-01-02 10:24:45.619903662 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp0x/pr78890-2.C 2017-01-02 10:24:26.960142515 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +// PR c++/78890 +// { dg-do compile { target c++11 } } + +template <typename T> +int +foo () +{ + union { + int a; + int &b = a; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } + }; + a = 1; + auto c = b + 1; + return c; +} + +template <typename T> +T +bar () +{ + union { + T a; + T &b = a; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } + }; + a = 1; + auto c = b + 1; + return c; +} + +template <typename T, typename U> +T baz() +{ + union { + T a; + U b = a; // { dg-error "may not have reference type" } + }; + a = 1; + auto c = b + 1; + return c; +} + +int a = foo<int> (); +int b = bar<int> (); +int c = baz<int, int &> (); Jakub
