Bug ID: 83808 Summary: "internal compiler error" for invalid input Product: gcc Version: 8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dibbex at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 43111 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=43111&action=edit Small test case The attached sample C++ program fails compilation with this error: $ /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/g++ -std=c++17 -c broken.cc broken.cc: In function 'void f()': broken.cc:9:3: internal compiler error: in process_init_constructor_array, at cp/typeck2.c:1318 }; ^ Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-snapshot/README.Bugs> for instructions. If I've understood the standard correctly, the expression used as the size of the array should be a constexpr, and the compiler should complain about it. Asking the user to file a bug report instead of fixing their code is the wrong response. $ /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/g++ -v Using built-in specs.

I've found the same error in version 7.2.0. Version 6.4.0 instead accepts the code without complaining.
