            Bug ID: 103540
           Summary: diagnosting concept depends on itself
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: ich.freak at gmx dot net
  Target Milestone: ---

When a concept X is checked for a template parameter T, this parameter is f=
ully
instanciated.
(while this may not be necessary to check the concept, this seems to be
dictated by the standard if I understood correctly)
If the instanciation of T depends on the concept X<T>, then gcc refuses to
compile the code saying something like
"satisfaction of atomic constraint X<T> depends on itself".
If T is large, however, it may be very difficult to determine where exactly=
 T
depends on X<T> and gcc currently does not help at all to find the problem.
It would be nice if gcc could tell the reader something like "X<T> depends =
on
itself because the type T::something declared in line Z depends on X<T>"

I prepared a small example here <https://godbolt.org/z/q9KczYb16>. Note that
diagnostics end with

<source>:5:14: note: the required type 'typename N::something' is invalid,
because
    5 |     typename N::something;
      |     ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
Compiler returned: 1

leaving the reader to wonder "because of what?"=
