c85f8dbb173f45053f6d8849d27adc98d9668769 c++: P2448 - Relaxing some constexpr restrictions [PR106649]
This patch implements C++23 P2448, which lifts more restrictions on the
constexpr keyword. It's effectively going the way of being just a hint
(hello, inline!).
This gist is relatively simple: in C++23, a constexpr function's return
type/parameter type doesn't have to be a literal type; and you can have
a constexpr function for which no invocation satisfies the requirements
of a core constant expression. For example,
void f(int& i); // not constexpr
constexpr void g(int& i) {
f(i); // unconditionally calls a non-constexpr function
}
is now OK, even though there isn't an invocation of 'g' that would be
a constant expression. Maybe 'f' will be made constexpr soon, or maybe
this depends on the version of C++ used, and similar. The patch is
unfortunately not that trivial. The important bit is to use the new
require_potential_rvalue_constant_expression_fncheck in
maybe_save_constexpr_fundef (and where appropriate). It has a new flag
that says that we're checking the body of a constexpr function, and in
that case it's OK to find constructs that aren't a constant expression.
Since it's useful to be able to check for problematic constructs even
in C++23, this patch implements a new warning, -Winvalid-constexpr,
which is a pedwarn turned on by default in C++20 and earlier, and which
can be turned on in C++23 as well, in which case it's an ordinary warning.
This I implemented by using the new function constexpr_error, used in
p_c_e_1 and friends. (In some cases I believe fundef_p will be always
false (= hard error), but it made sense to me to be consistent and use
constexpr_error throughout p_c_e_1.)
While working on this I think I found a bug, see constexpr-nonlit15.C
and <https://gcc.gnu.org/PR107598>. This patch doesn't address that.
This patch includes changes to diagnose the problem if the user doesn't
use -Winvalid-constexpr and calls a constexpr function that in fact isn't
constexpr-ready yet: maybe_save_constexpr_fundef registers the function
if warn_invalid_constexpr is 0 and explain_invalid_constexpr_fn then
gives the diagnostic.

depending on cxx_dialect.

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
* constexpr.cc (constexpr_error): New function.
(is_valid_constexpr_fn): Use constexpr_error.

require_potential_rvalue_constant_expression_fncheck rather than
require_potential_rvalue_constant_expression. Register the
function if -Wno-invalid-constexpr was specified.
(explain_invalid_constexpr_fn): Don't return early if a function marked
'constexpr' that isn't actually a constant expression was called.
(non_const_var_error): Add a bool parameter. Use constexpr_error.
(inline_asm_in_constexpr_error): Likewise.

and inline_asm_in_constexpr_error.

constexpr_error.
