            Bug ID: 107962
           Summary: GCC allows constexpr copy construction despite
                    uninitialized member
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: hstong at ca dot ibm.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Lvalue-to-rvalue conversion of objects having indeterminate value is not
allowed during evaluation of a core constant expression (see N4919 subclause
7.7 [expr.const] bullet 5.11). GCC allows such lvalue-to-rvalue conversion
during the constant evaluation of trivial copy constructors.

In the case below, the `y` member of `a` has indeterminate value when the
initialization of `b` is performed. Clang and ICC correctly diagnose the issue.

### SOURCE (<stdin>):
struct A {
  int x, y;
  constexpr A() {}
};

constexpr int f() {
  A a;
  a.x = 42;
  A b = a;
  return b.x;
}

extern constexpr int x = f();


### COMPILER INVOCATION:
g++ -xc++ -fsyntax-only -std=c++2a -


### ACTUAL OUTPUT:
(Clean compile)


### EXPECTED OUTPUT:
(Error that `x` is not initialized by a constant expression)


### COMPILER VERSION INFO (g++ -v):
Using built-in specs.

--- Comment #2 from Hubert Tong <hstong at ca dot ibm.com> ---
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#2264 suggests that
the GCC behaviour may be the desired one because copies of
partially-initialized structures are allowed in C but cause undefined behaviour
in C++.
