Bug ID: 115194
Summary: [modules] "reference to <symbol> is ambiguous" when
multiple paths to same symbol exist through module
Product: gcc
Version: 15.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: nickbegg at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
This code example was reduced from Boost's multi_index_container.
When referencing symbols via modules and using statements, gcc gets tripped up
with different routes to the same symbol.
When #including clean.hpp directly into main.cpp, this compiles ok.:
/// clean.hpp :
namespace NS1 { namespace NS2 {
class Thing {};
} // NS2
using NS2::Thing;
} // NS1
/// modA.mpp:
module;
#include "clean.hpp"
export module modA;
export namespace NS1 {
using ::NS1::Thing;
namespace NS2 {
} }
/// main.cpp:
#if 0
#include "clean.hpp"
#else
import modA;
#endif
using NS1::Thing;
using namespace NS1::NS2;
Thing thing;
