            Bug ID: 113063
           Summary: Strange linker error in special case involving local
                    class with defaulted spaceship operator and static
                    assert
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: kristian.spangsege at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

With the latest GCC (13.2) and also with GCC 11.4, the following C++ code
triggers a strange linker error:


#include <compare>

int main()
{
    struct X {
        auto operator<=>(const X&) const = default;
    };
    X x;
    static_assert(noexcept(x < x));
    static_cast<void>(x < x);
}


Godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/PfPfznT6Y


The linker error is this:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccsnSU59.o: in function `main::X::operator<=>(X const&)
const':
t.cpp:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to
`std::strong_ordering::strong_ordering(std::strong_ordering const&)'


It seems to be a bug that is triggered by the presence of the static assertion,
but only when the it occurs before the actual invocation of the less-than
comparison operation. Also, if the local class (`X`) is moved out of `main()`,
the problem goes away.
