--- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Fedor Chelnokov from comment #1) > Probably related: > ``` > #include <bit> > > struct A { int a: 7; }; > > static_assert( 1 == std::bit_cast<A>(std::bit_cast<int>(A{1})).a ); > ``` > It looks valid and accepted by MSVC, but GCC prints: > error: '__builtin_bit_cast' accessing uninitialized byte at offset 0 > > Online demo: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/3W5onY955 That is unrelated and gcc is actually correct there see pr 99637.
