Bug ID: 66644
Summary: Rejects C++11 in-class anonymous union members
initialization
Product: gcc
Version: 5.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: bisqwit at iki dot fi
Target Milestone: ---
Accepted by GCC:
struct test
{ union
{
struct { char a=0, b; };
char buffer[16];
}; };
NOT accepted by GCC (multiple fields in union 'test::<anonymous union>'
initialized):
struct test
{ union
{
struct { char a=0, b=0; };
char buffer[16];
}; };
Still accepted by GCC:
struct test
{ union
{
struct { char a, b; } test2{0,
char buffer[16];
}; };
I think there's a compiler bug here. It should not complain about initializing
multiple fields in a struct that is nested inside the union, because this does
not comprise a conflict.
Tested on GCC versions 4.7.4, 4.8.4, 4.9.2, and 5.1.1.
