Bug ID: 85254 Summary: boost::is_final does not work for template types Product: gcc Version: 7.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: andysem at mail dot ru Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 43868 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=43868&action=edit Preprocessed test case This problem was initially reported to Boost here: https://github.com/boostorg/type_traits/issues/66 The test case is this: #include <boost/type_traits/is_final.hpp> #include <type_traits> #include <iostream> struct final1 final {}; template <typename T> struct final2 final {}; int main() { std::cout << "boost::is_final<final1>: " << boost::is_final<final1>::value << std::endl; std::cout << "boost::is_final<final2<int>>::value: " << boost::is_final< final2<int> >::value << std::endl; std::cout << "std::is_final<final1>::value: " << std::is_final<final1>::value << std::endl; std::cout << "std::is_final<final2<int>>::value: " << std::is_final< final2<int> >::value << std::endl; } The output with gcc 6.4 and 7.2: boost::is_final<final1>: 1 boost::is_final<final2<int>>::value: 0 std::is_final<final1>::value: 1 std::is_final<final2<int>>::value: 1 The expected output should be all 1s. I suspect the compiler intrinsic __is_final produces incorrect result because of remove_cv for some reason. boost::is_final is defined like this: template <class T> struct is_final : public integral_constant<bool, BOOST_IS_FINAL(typename remove_cv<T>::type)> {}; where BOOST_IS_FINAL is defined to __is_final. This is similar to std::is_final except for the remove_cv trait. If I remove remove_cv then the test results are as expected. remove_cv is implemented this way: template <class T> struct remove_cv{ typedef T type; }; template <class T> struct remove_cv<T const>{ typedef T type; }; template <class T> struct remove_cv<T volatile>{ typedef T type; }; template <class T> struct remove_cv<T const volatile>{ typedef T type; }; plus the similar specializations for array types, which are irrelevant to this test. Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the problem with a more reduced testcase, including when I re-implemented is_final and remove_cv locally, so it's possible that some surrounding code is at play. I'm attaching a preprocessed source a compilable test code. Compile with: g++ -I<path_to_boost> -o is_final_test is_final_test.cpp I'm using Boost develop (pre-1.67), but the problem reproduces with Boost 1.62 that comes with Kubuntu 17.10 and likely any newer versions. $ g++ -v Using built-in specs.
