Hi! For anonymous union members we create artificial VAR_DECLs which have DECL_VALUE_EXPR for the actual COMPONENT_REF. That works just fine inside of functions (including global dynamic constructors), because during gimplification such VAR_DECLs are gimplified as their DECL_VALUE_EXPR. This is also done during regimplification.
But references to these artificial vars in DECL_INITIAL expressions aren't ever replaced by the DECL_VALUE_EXPRs, so we end up either with link failures like on the testcase below, or worse ICEs with LTO. The following patch fixes those during cp_fully_fold_init where we already walk all the trees (!data->genericize means that function rather than cp_fold_function). Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2023-01-19 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/53932 * cp-gimplify.cc (cp_fold_r): During cp_fully_fold_init replace DECL_ANON_UNION_VAR_P VAR_DECLs with their corresponding DECL_VALUE_EXPR. * g++.dg/init/pr53932.C: New test. --- gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.cc.jj 2023-01-16 11:52:16.065734330 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.cc 2023-01-19 18:13:54.592661735 +0100 @@ -1010,6 +1010,16 @@ cp_fold_r (tree *stmt_p, int *walk_subtr } break; + case VAR_DECL: + /* In initializers replace anon union artificial VAR_DECLs + with their DECL_VALUE_EXPRs, as nothing will do it later. */ + if (DECL_ANON_UNION_VAR_P (stmt) && !data->genericize) + { + *stmt_p = stmt = unshare_expr (DECL_VALUE_EXPR (stmt)); + break; + } + break; + default: break; } --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/init/pr53932.C.jj 2023-01-19 18:22:24.837231192 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/init/pr53932.C 2023-01-19 18:20:51.776586408 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +// PR c++/53932 +// { dg-do link } + +static union { int i; }; +int &r = i; +int s = i; +int *t = &i; + +void +foo (int **p, int *q) +{ + static int &u = i; + static int v = i; + static int *w = &i; + int &x = i; + int y = i; + int *z = &i; + *p = &i; + *q = i; +} + +int +main () +{ +} Jakub
