Public bug reported: This appears to be a regression from clang 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 (also reported upstream: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37457).
The following code: #include <stdatomic.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { atomic_int tmp = ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(-1); atomic_store_explicit(&tmp, 42, memory_order_relaxed); return 0; } fails to build: $ clang-6.0 -std=gnu11 -Wall test.c test.c:7:3: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to a trivially-copyable type ('_Atomic(int) *' invalid) atomic_store_explicit(&tmp, 42, memory_order_relaxed); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7.3.0/include/stdatomic.h:126:5: note: expanded from macro 'atomic_store_explicit' __atomic_store (__atomic_store_ptr, &__atomic_store_tmp, (MO)); \ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. If I replace "atomic_int" by "int", the code builds and works as expected.
