Hi! The stmtexpr19.C testcase used to be rejected as it has a static variable in statement expression in constexpr context, but as that static variable is initialized by constant expression, when P2647R1 was implemented we agreed to make it valid.
Now, as reported, the testcase compiles fine, but doesn't actually link because the static variable isn't defined anywhere, and with -flto ICEs because of this problem. This is because we never varpool_node::finalize_decl those vars, the constant expression in which the DECL_EXPR is present for the static VAR_DECL is folded (constant evaluated) into just the address of the VAR_DECL. Now, similar testcase included below (do we want to include it in the testsuite too?) works fine, because in cp_finish_decl -> make_rtl_for_nonlocal_decl we have since PR70353 fix: /* We defer emission of local statics until the corresponding DECL_EXPR is expanded. But with constexpr its function might never be expanded, so go ahead and tell cgraph about the variable now. */ defer_p = ((DECL_FUNCTION_SCOPE_P (decl) && !var_in_maybe_constexpr_fn (decl)) || DECL_VIRTUAL_P (decl)); and so don't defer them in constexpr/consteval functions. The following patch extends that and doesn't defer vars initialized by constant expressions either, because otherwise there is nothing to finalize those. It is true that e.g. with -O0 int foo (int x) { if (x) { static int y = 1; ++y; } if (0) { static int z = 1; ++z; } return sizeof (({ static int w = 1; w; })); } we used to emit just y and z and with the patch emit also w, but with optimizations that is optimized away properly. Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? The testcase I was talking above that works because of the && !var_in_maybe_constexpr_fn (decl) case is: extern "C" void abort (); constexpr const int * foo () { static constexpr int a = 1; return &a; } consteval const int * bar () { static constexpr int a = 1; return &a; } [[gnu::noipa]] void baz (const int *x) { if (*x != 1) abort (); } int main () { constexpr const int *p = foo (); constexpr const int *q = bar (); baz (p); baz (q); if (p == q) abort (); } 2023-02-09 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/108702 * decl.cc (make_rtl_for_nonlocal_decl): Don't defer local statics initialized by constant expressions. * g++.dg/ext/stmtexpr19.C: Use dg-do link rather than dg-do compile. --- gcc/cp/decl.cc.jj 2023-01-24 11:10:13.151076134 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/decl.cc 2023-02-09 13:29:50.527083618 +0100 @@ -7731,9 +7731,12 @@ make_rtl_for_nonlocal_decl (tree decl, t /* We defer emission of local statics until the corresponding DECL_EXPR is expanded.
