* Implement current CWG direction for support of arrays of unknown bounds inRichard Smith2017-10-201-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | constant expressions. We permit array-to-pointer decay on such arrays, but disallow pointer arithmetic (since we do not know whether it will have defined behavior). This is based on r311970 and r301822 (the former by me and the latter by Robert Haberlach). Between then and now, two things have changed: we have committee feedback indicating that this is indeed the right direction, and the code broken by this change has been fixed. This is necessary in C++17 to continue accepting certain forms of non-type template argument involving arrays of unknown bound. llvm-svn: 316245

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | handling of constexprs with unknown bounds. This triggers a corner case of the language where it's not yet clear whether this should be an error: struct A { static void *const a[]; static void *const b[]; }; constexpr void *A::a[] = {&b[0]}; constexpr void *A::b[] = {&a[0]}; When discovering the initializer for A::a, the bounds of A::b aren't known yet. It is unclear whether warning about errors should be deferred until the end of the translation unit, possibly resolving errors that can be resolved. In practice, the compiler can know the bounds of all arrays in this example. Credits for reproducers and explanation go to Richard Smith. Richard, please add more info in case my explanation is wrong. llvm-svn: 301963
* Improve handling of arrays of unknown bound in constant expressions.Richard Smith2017-05-011-0/+25
Do not spuriously reject constexpr functions that access elements of an array of unknown bound; this may later become valid once the bound is known. Permit array-to-pointer decay on such arrays, but disallow pointer arithmetic (since we do not know whether it will have defined behavior). The standard is not clear on how this should work, but this seems to be a decent answer. Patch by Robert Haberlach! llvm-svn: 301822
