Bug ID: 103826
Summary: Bogus shift-negative-value warning in C++20 mode
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: manx-bugzilla at problemloesungsmaschine dot de
Target Milestone: ---
C++20 changed the semantics when shifting negative values from undefined
behavior to defined semantics. However, GCC still warns with -std=c++20 in this
case, which is unfortunate, because it generates a lot of warnings when porting
code to modern C++20. The warning is enabled by -Wextra.
```
int foo() {
return (-32767) << 3;
}
```
`-std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic`:
```
<source>: In function 'int foo()':
<source>:2:21: warning: left shift of negative value [-Wshift-negative-value]
2 | return (-32767) << 3;
| ~~~~~~~~~^~~~
```
Clang also warns in this case in C++17 mode, but does not warn in C++20 mode.
