Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords| |diagnostic Blocks| |55004 Known to fail| |6.0 --- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I would normally make the Severity of a bug in the text of a diagnostic minor but this one seems like it's more than a poorly phrased diagnostic. The code that triggers the error is in the potential_constant_expression_1() function in constexp.c: case NOP_EXPR: case CONVERT_EXPR: case VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR: /* -- a reinterpret_cast. FIXME not implemented, and this rule may change to something more specific to type-punning (DR 1312). */ { tree from = TREE_OPERAND (t, 0); if (POINTER_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (t)) && TREE_CODE (from) == INTEGER_CST && !integer_zerop (from)) { if (flags & tf_error) error_at (EXPR_LOC_OR_LOC (t, input_location), "reinterpret_cast from integer to pointer"); return false; } return (RECUR (from, TREE_CODE (t) != VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR)); } Referenced Bugs: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55004 [Bug 55004] [meta-bug] constexpr issues
