Bug #: 56282
Summary: [4.8 regression] std::basic_ios<char> broken with
-std=c++11 (undefined reference)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: dan...@constexpr.org
Simple enough:
$ echo -e '#include <iostream>\n int main() { std::cout << "Hello World!\\n";
return bool(std::cout); }' | g++-4.8.0-pre9999 -x c++ - -std=c++11
/tmp/cc4QaOVU.o: In function `main':
:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `std::basic_ios<char,
std::char_traits<char> >::operator bool() const'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Broken by this commit:
http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d8eb68081f898e225727d69da8212813f27e199
The offending commit adds the correct test operator for C++11:
+#if __cplusplus >= 201103L
+ explicit operator bool() const
+ { return !this->fail(); }
+#else
operator void*() const
{ return this->fail() ? 0 : const_cast<basic_ios*>(this); }
+#endif
However, std::basic_ios<char> is explicitly instantiated in libstdc++.so (from
basic_ios.tcc):
#if _GLIBCXX_EXTERN_TEMPLATE
extern template class basic_ios<char>;
#ifdef _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T
extern template class basic_ios<wchar_t>;
#endif
#endif
So the gcc doesn't instantiate explicit operator bool for std::basic_ios<char>
and instead tries to use the instantiation in libstdc++.so, which only has the
operator void*.
