            Bug ID: 112621
           Summary: g++ error: "references internal linkage entity" when
                    compiling a module interface
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.2.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: amaikinono at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 56641
  --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=56641&action=edit
Preprocessed files.

Here's a minimal example:

```
// class.cxx
export module mod;

const int default_val { 0 };

export class Example
{
  // This line causes the problem.
  int value { default_val };
};
```

Compile it:

```
$ g++ -c -std=c++20 -fmodules-ts class.cxx
class.cxx:5:14: error: ‘class Example’ references internal linkage entity
‘const int default_val’
    5 | export class Example
      |              ^~~~~~~
class.cxx:1:8: error: failed to write compiled module: Bad file data
    1 | export module mod;
      |        ^~~~~~
class.cxx:1:8: note: compiled module file is ‘gcm.cache/mod.gcm’
```

If we don't use `default_val` in the class:

```
export module mod;

const int default_val { 0 };

export class Example
{
  int value { 0 };
};
```

or if the file is not a module interface:

```
const int default_val { 0 };

class Example
{
  int value { default_val };
};
```

Then it compiles.
