            Bug ID: 41586
           Summary: [[clang::require_constant_initialization]] says a
                    global with a defaulted trivial constructor is not
                    constant initialized
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Frontend
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected],

Consider:

struct Foo { int x; };
[[clang::require_constant_initialization]] Foo obj1; // error
[[clang::require_constant_initialization]] Foo obj2{}; // ok

Clang says:

t.cpp:2:48: error: variable does not have a constant initializer
[[clang::require_constant_initialization]] Foo obj1; // error
                                               ^~~~
t.cpp:2:3: note: required by 'require_constant_initialization' attribute here
[[clang::require_constant_initialization]] Foo obj1; // error
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
t.cpp:2:48: note: non-constexpr constructor 'Foo' cannot be used in a constant
expression
[[clang::require_constant_initialization]] Foo obj1; // error
                                               ^
t.cpp:1:8: note: declared here
struct Foo { int x; };
       ^

It's true that Foo's default constructor is not constexpr, it is trivial, and
it does not initialize its members. However, no dynamic initializer is needed
for obj1, which I think is the important thing that the user of this attribute
is probably looking for. Should we make an exception for this?
