From: "cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug c++/99176] [8/9/10 Regression] GCC rejects const_cast of null pointer in constant expressions Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2021 22:42:18 +0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-99176-4-VKBZ8Ai3J0@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) In-Reply-To: <bug-99176-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99176 --- Comment #6 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-10 branch has been updated by Marek Polacek <mpolacek@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:581e87b67233556d566df3a0ea33be9c19fbcb2f commit r10-9687-g581e87b67233556d566df3a0ea33be9c19fbcb2f Author: Marek Polacek <polacek@redhat.com> Date: Fri Apr 9 18:41:21 2021 -0400 c++: const_cast of null pointer in constant expr [PR99176] Here we reject constexpr const int *p = nullptr; constexpr int *q = const_cast<int*>(p); with "conversion of 'const int*' null pointer to 'int*' is not a constant expression", which seems bogus. This code has been rejected since r238909 which added the can_convert check when converting a null pointer. I'm not finding any standard rule that this check was supposed to enforce. The original discussion was here <https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2016-06/msg01447.html> and here <https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2016-07/msg00280.html>. Since can_convert never assumes a C-style cast, it rejects casting away constness as in the test above and in: constexpr int *q = (int *)(const int *) nullptr; Removing the check only breaks constexpr-nullptr-2.C by not giving any diagnostic for line 229: constexpr B *pb2 = static_cast<B*>(pa0); // { dg-error "not a constant expression" } but the cast seems to be valid: we do [expr.static.cast]/7, and [expr.const] only says that a reinterpreter_cast and converting from void* is invalid in constexpr. The can_convert check rejected convering from void *, but only when converting from a null pointer, so it's not good enough. So I've added a check to catch conversions from cv void*. I realize it's not a great time to be adding additional checking, but removing the can_convert check would then technically be a regression. Let's limit the new check to only trigger for integer_zerop and then remove it in GCC 12. gcc/cp/ChangeLog: DR 1312 PR c++/99176 * constexpr.c (is_std_construct_at): New overload.
